firestore-bigquery-export: switching to functions 2nd generation

[READ] Step 1: Are you in the right place?

Issues filed here should be about a feature request for a specific extension in this repository. To file a feature request that affects multiple extensions or the Firebase Extensions platform, please reach out to Firebase support directly.

[REQUIRED] Step 2: Extension name

This feature request is for extension: firestore-bigquery-export

What feature would you like to see?

I would like the export function to be changed to the 2nd generation, because it will significantly reduce costs with a large number of updated documents and eliminate the error when an additional instance cannot be started on time. The main execution time of the function takes the launch of the instance and processing on the bigquery side. Thus, if the function was of the second generation, then most operations could be carried out by a single instance.

How would you use it?

This does not affect the functional part, you just need to change the wrapper.

Hi @siarheidudko

Thanks for the request, Firebase extension deployments do not currently support 2nd generation functions.

We plan to upgrade this as soon as it becomes available!
