FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Use Firebase for MVPs, prototypes, or apps needing rapid development without infrastructure management. Use a custom backend when you need complex queries, specific database features, or more control over infrastructure.

We optimize Firebase usage by structuring data efficiently, using proper indexes, caching frequently accessed data, and implementing offline support. We monitor usage and set up billing alerts.

Firebase can scale, but has limitations for complex queries and high read/write costs. For enterprise applications, we may recommend migrating to custom backends or hybrid approaches.

Regional

Delivery considerations for your region

Compliance & Data (Canada)

For Canadian teams, we focus on practical privacy and security: least-privilege access, clear boundaries, and reviewable operational controls.

We can align implementation with SOC 2 / ISO-friendly practices (without claiming certification) and support documented data flows.

  • SOC 2 / ISO-friendly patterns (no certification claims)
  • Least-privilege access and secure session handling
  • Retention/deletion and export flows where required
  • PII-safe logging + access boundary documentation
  • NDA and vendor onboarding docs on request

Timezone & Collaboration (North America)

We work with Canadian teams with North America overlap and meeting windows that fit your schedule.

Delivery stays predictable via weekly milestones, async updates, and clearly documented decisions.

  • North America overlap and responsive communication
  • Async-first updates with written scope decisions
  • Weekly milestone demos and progress checkpoints
  • Clear escalation path for blockers
  • Tight change control with clear sign-offs

Engagement & Procurement (Canada)

We support procurement-friendly delivery: clear scope, change control, and billing cadence aligned to milestones when appropriate.

We can invoice in CAD for CAD-based engagements where required.

  • CAD-based engagements and invoicing options
  • Milestone-based billing and scope sign-offs
  • Time-and-materials for evolving requirements
  • Vendor onboarding pack on request
  • Optional paid discovery to de-risk delivery

Security & Quality (North America)

We keep quality visible: clean PRs, reviewable changes, and test coverage that matches the risk of each feature.

Performance budgets and release discipline help maintain stability as the product scales.

  • CI-friendly testing: unit + integration + smoke tests
  • Performance budgets + bundle checks
  • Structured release notes + rollback-safe deployments
  • Security checklist for auth, roles, and data flows
  • Observability hooks (logs + error tracking) ready for production
