Algolia Firestore Extension – Node.js 18 Deprecation Issue

Database & APIs

Hey everyone,

I’m using the Algolia Firestore Extension in my FlutterFlow project. The extension automatically creates two Cloud Functions:

• ext-firestore-algolia-search-executeFullIndexOperation

• ext-firestore-algolia-search-executeIndexOperation

Currently, these functions run on Node.js 18, but Google Cloud will deprecate Node.js 18 on April 30, 2025, and fully remove support by October 30, 2025.

What have you tried so far?

I tried manually upgrading the runtime to Node.js 20 in the Google Cloud Console, but after doing so, the Algolia functions stopped working.

Has anyone found a solution to this?

• Is there a way to upgrade the runtime without breaking the Algolia functions?

• Has anyone contacted Algolia or Firebase support regarding this?

• If you’ve dealt with this issue before, how did you resolve it?

Any help or insights would be greatly appreciated! 🚀
