Distributed Counter

이 확장 프로그램의 작동 방식

Use this extension to add a highly scalable counter service to your app. This is ideal for applications that count viral actions or any very high-velocity action such as views, likes, or shares.

Since Cloud Firestore has a limit of one sustained write per second, per document, this extension instead shards your writes across documents in a _counter_shards_ subcollection. Each client only increments their own unique shard while the background workers (provided by this extension) monitor and aggregate these shards into a main document.

Here are some features of this extension:

• Scales from 0 updates per second to a maximum of 10,000 per second.
• Supports an arbitrary number of counters in your app.
• Works offline and provides latency compensation for the main counter.

Note that this extension requires client-side logic to work. We provide a TypeScript client sample implementation and its compiled minified JavaScript . You can use this extension on other platforms if you'd like to develop your own client code based on the provided client sample.

We also provide a Node.js admin sample implementation

Additional setup

Before installing this extension, make sure that you've set up a Cloud Firestore database in your Firebase project.

After installing this extension, you'll need to:

• Update your database security rules .
• Use the provided client sample , the provided Node.js admin sample or your own client code to specify your document path and increment values.

Detailed information for these post-installation tasks are provided after you install this extension.
