Check it yourself

How do you check a Firebase app before hiring anyone?

Firebase’s docs list rules that give every user, or every signed-in user, access to all your data as not recommended. These 3 checks need only your code.

CheckRun thisA pass looks like
Do your rules let anyone read or write everything?grep -rnE "if true|request\.auth != null|request\.auth\.uid != null|allow read, write;|\.(read|write).: *(true|.auth)" --include="*.rules" --include="database.rules.json" . --exclude-dir=node_modules --exclude-dir=.gitLook at every match. A rule that only checks for a signed-in user lets any signed-in user read or change every customer’s data; each rule should compare the user’s ID with the owner of the document. No match isn’t proof your rules are safe: rules that call a helper such as isSignedIn() need reading by hand, and public reads with owner-only writes are fine.
Is a service account private key in the repo?grep -rlE "\"private_key\"|BEGIN PRIVATE KEY" . --exclude-dir=node_modules --exclude-dir=.gitNo matches. Google says to store service account keys separate from source code. If one was ever committed, delete the key in IAM, because removing it from the repo isn’t enough. Code running on Google Cloud can use an attached service account instead of a key.
Where is the Firebase web API key, and is it restricted?grep -rn "apiKey" . --include="*.js" --include="*.ts" --include="*.dart" --exclude-dir=node_modules --exclude-dir=.gitA match is normal: Firebase says its API keys are safe to include in code. Grep can’t show restrictions, so open the key in the Google Cloud console: Firebase calls API restrictions critical, because an unrestricted key can be used to access any API enabled for the project.

FAQ

Questions before you start

How much does it cost to hire a Firebase developer?

App369 publishes fixed prices: a Firebase Security Rules Audit with a fix pull request is $950, a Firebase Cost-Cut Audit is $750, and one named bug is an App Fix Ticket, a $450 diagnosis credited toward the $1,200 fix. Lemon.io lists senior Firebase engineers from $55 an hour.

Which offer fits my problem?

If you worry one customer can see another’s data, start with the Rules Audit. If the Google bill keeps growing, start with the Cost-Cut Audit. If one thing is broken and you can describe it, start with an App Fix Ticket.

Will you touch my production data?

No. Rules are tested on the Firebase emulator or test data, the cost audit uses read-only access, and fixes arrive as pull requests you deploy yourself.

What isn’t included?

New features, rewrites or migrating off Firebase, app refactors, infrastructure outside Firebase, making the changes the Cost-Cut Audit recommends (a fixed-quote add-on after the audit), negotiated discounts or Google Cloud credits, guaranteed app store approval, compliance certification, changes to your production data, and calls, except paid consultations ($100 per 15 minutes, paid upfront).

Who does the work?

Simon Dziak, who founded App369, does the work himself, in writing by email. He built and runs Workspace369 on Firebase, Cloud Functions and Cloud Run.
