New Update on My Social Media App for Engineering Students Iโ€™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 countsโ€”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 itโ€™s manageable. However, Iโ€™m planning to enhance the app by adding offline-first caching and other optimizations to reduce read calls. Iโ€™m also exploring other solutions, like shifting the backend to SQL or another database for better scalability and cost management. Thanks for reading!
