Ideas

• I'm trying to build an website like pinterest basically.
• The logic should control basic CRUD, authentication, user role(admin, writer, normal)
• Improve the loading data performance by range

Solutions

• Im using nodejs, express and firebase as well as firebase cloud function to deploy on gcloud.

Controllers

• authController: control authentication
• adminController: CRUD an admin account
• countController: manage total number of a object (newsFeed, admin, user) - help to improve searching and fetching all large data
• mediaController: upload image file to cloudinary

Middleware

• authorizedUserChecker

Deployment

• Deployed on Gcloud
• Deployed on Heroku

Issues

• I took a lot of time for researching Firebase Hosting with dynamic cloud functions rewrites. In order to resolve it, you should add Firebase hosting rewrite rule into firebase.json
