This post shares some of the experiences we, as an early-stage company, have had from building our company culture, and dives into a few of the concepts that have helped shape our ways of working.

Most people can probably agree that company culture and values are important, but how many companies can honestly say that they live their values?

I always wanted a PalmPilot when I was a kid. Seems like I finally can!

It took us a while to actually take on the task to migrate our Firebase project from using TSLint to using the now recommended ESLint. It wasn’t a trivial task, but in the end it’s absolutely worth it. We documented the process so you too can migrate if you haven’t done so already.

We use Firebase for basically everything at our company ─ we run an API-first "digital keychain" ─ and we love it! however our API (based on Cloud Functions) response times were... not so great to say the least, with some of our endpoints taking more than a couple of seconds to respond, which was kind of a big issue for our clients.

We tried several techniques but by far what got us to reduce response times the most was migrating from Cloud Functions to Google Cloud Run.
