I need to try azure so that's for the article.

I use firebase quite a bit, but I'm not happy with some of the choices they made like make node v6 the default... Like c'mon, v8 is the newest version you support, and I have explicitly put that in the config file so my clients have to come back for an upgrade later (maybe it has auto upgrade ^ support but I'm not going to try it with a piece of software that so consistently silently fails)?

That and the way they handle promises. That's a complicated one that would require a long, long tyraid about what not to do if you want to lint with your deploy tool and "optimize" your platform without creating unclear and seemingly random artifacts in production.

If Azure solves either of the problems, it might have new fanboy.

Hope you liked it!

Azure Functions offers Node 6 and Node 8,10. Depends on which version you use. To make it simple, if you create one today, you likely get 8 or 10. Here is a doc that explains all of this. docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azu...
