Setting callbackWaitsForEmptyEventLoop to false should only be your last resort if nothing else works for you, as this might introduce worse bugs than the problem you're trying to solve here.

This is what I do instead to ensure every call has firebase initialized, and deleted before exiting.

// handlerWithFirebase.js

const admin = require("firebase-admin");
const config = require("./config.json");

function initialize() {
  return admin.initializeApp({
    credential: admin.credential.cert(config),
    databaseURL: "https://.firebaseio.com",
  });
}

function handlerWithFirebase(func) {
  return (event, context, callback) => {
    const firebase = initialize();
    let _callback = (error, result) => {
      firebase.delete();
      callback(error, result);
    }
    // passing firebase into your handler here is optional
    func(event, context, _callback, firebase /*optional*/);
  }
}

module.exports = handlerWithFirebase;

And then in my lambda handler code

// myHandler.js

const handlerWithFirebase = require("../firebase/handler");

module.exports.handler = handlerWithFirebase(
(event, context, callback, firebase) => {
    ...
});
