Serverless For Startups

on YouTube ↗29m

" summary

A startup builds a progressive web app using Firebase for hosting, auth, realtime JSON storage and cloud functions, integrates PayPal then Braintree for payments, Zapier for workflows, TrackJS for client error tracking and exports full DB every five minutes to Amazon S3. The team ships with zero back-end code at first, starts taking payments, covers operating costs by month three, then adds cloud functions for secure payment handshakes and image OCR (via a $20/month service) and keeps exported JSON backups offsite.
