Could this be hosted easily on Firebase by adding Cloud Firestore as the db? about n8n HOT 6 CLOSED

@gorkamolero Yeah, I believe this would actually work as a Cloud Function. I did some research and did find a project that wrapped Cloud Firestore in an orm. Integrating that wrapper could be a start. https://github.com/wovalle/fireorm

@janober I investigated typeorm and they had no plans to add more nosql db's, as of about 8 months ago. Do you have any other thoughts about deploying to production environments? That feels like a valuable next step.

Have no experience at all with Firebase. So not sure. But if you say that only static files can be hosted there then I am not sure if it would work at all. If the Node.js process can read/write to that static file you can simply use SQLite as it runs within n8n and all it does is to write to a single file.

Sadly no not know anything about Firestore either. But n8n uses https://typeorm.io/ so all the databases it supports can also be supported by n8n without a lot of work. For all other ones, probably first an integration for TypeORM would have to be created.

Hey guys,

I think the deal would be to make this work with Cloud functions for firebase, which is the part of firebase that works as a sort of backend for non-backend devs.

I've only seen this about TypeORM and cloud functions https://github.com/fireship-io/201-cloud-functions-sql-typeorm

You can make all sort of calculations in response to certain triggers, like https requests. If you can make a GraphQL server run on Cloud Functions, you could probably do this
