Reducing bundle size: Previewing a new Firebase for the web

on YouTube ↗12m

" summary

New Firebase JavaScript SDK rewrites exports into modular SDK functions so bundlers like webpack rollup and esbuild can tree-shake unused code, cutting the main Firebase bundle from ~59 KB to ~30 KB (~50% smaller). Firestore Lite offers a Firestore Lite build that drops realtime and offline persistence for ~80% smaller size. A compat library enables incremental migration by exposing the v8 API while using the modular runtime and lets teams remove compat later to realize full savings.
