I have a similar fear when using Firebase. The web interface is okay but logging/debugging is really poor. For example, we pay by the number of reads/writes we do to the database.

One day I was setting up a side project and I was getting like 1,000 reads every time I opened up my app. It was freaking hard to debug where those reads were coming from as they don't provide a way to see stats by documents in the database.

I'm always afraid I'm going to do something stupid and end up having a huge bill.

The way firebase works is that all the debugging should be done on your app's side, unless the problem was with cloud functions.
