Hello,
This suggestion relates to our costs when using Flutterflow to build an app with Firebase as the backend. Flutterflow is a no-code platform that allows us to build apps using a visual interface instead of writing code directly. It heavily relies on Firebase as the backend, which offers rich features.
Flutterflow generates code for us to bind data from the app to Firebase, eliminating the need to write code for directly uploading data. However, one concern we have is the cost associated with Firebase. Firebase charges based on read-write operations, but we are unsure about how Flutterflow's code handles data uploads to Firebase. We can download the source code and read it, but I am not an experienced coder.
Therefore, I suggest that Flutterflow considers optimizing data upload operations to minimize unnecessary costs related to Firebase charges. I believe that while Flutterflow is easy to use and feature-rich, it would be beneficial for us if it also focuses on cost optimization. We rely on Flutterflow to build and upload data to Firebase, and if data upload operations are not optimized, we may incur expensive charges unnecessarily in some cases.

What do you guys think? pls commend below 😄
Thank you.
