New Update on My Social Media App for Engineering Students I’ve been working on an app focused on hackathons, job prep, aptitude tests, and more, mainly for engineering students. Initially, I was using Firebase for the backend, but I ran into the read limit of 50k/day. I thought it was a good amount at first, but each read counts—so viewing one post is one read, and viewing a user profile with 10 posts and followers can easily add up to 15+ reads. i.e. one user can easily consume 1k reads . Luckily, Firebase offers 100k/day reads at just $0.08, so it’s manageable. However, I’m planning to enhance the app by adding offline-first caching and other optimizations to reduce read calls. I’m also exploring other solutions, like shifting the backend to SQL or another database for better scalability and cost management. Thanks for reading!
