" summary

Concrete claim: building on Firebase + Cloud Functions with a React front end cuts BAU developer work by moving data-editing, ETL and webhook tasks into an operational UI. The team ships open source project firetable — a live, spreadsheet-like editor for Firestore with 35 column types, JSON fields, import/export, action columns (Slack, SendGrid, email) and column-triggered scripts. It runs on Google Cloud, syncs edits live to Firestore, replaces ad hoc internal portals, and reports active GitHub adoption.
