What is the difference between Cloud Functions and Firebase Functions?

Question

Cloud Functions and Firebase Functions (or \"Cloud Functions for Firebase\") both look the same. Please describe the use case of each.

Both use HTTP functions.

Answer 1

There is an additional difference: Firebase Functions can only be implemented in JS or Node.JS, while Cloud Functions also allow the use of Python and Go.

There is also a small difference in terms of how they are priced, if you are on the Spark Plan. Check this out https://firebase.google.com/pricing vs. https://cloud.google.com/functions/pricing if you are on the Blaze plan, the pricing is the same.

I happen to use both for my Firebase project.
