I have created 2 separate projects in Firebase one for the TEST (development) and one for the actual PROD(unction) environment.
I have create a hosting project and am also using Firebase functions that I have successfully deployed and tested on the Firebase TEST project (using the command line as described in the docs).
What is the best / easiest way to now publish to the Firebase PROD project?
Get familiar with the way the Firebase CLI lets you attach a workspace to multiple projects. You can use firebase use --add on the command line to add a project alias, then firebase use [project] to switch between projects for deployment.
You can find the documentation for managing aliases here.

I am working on a Firebase project that currently uses several Cloud Functions.
The thing is that I want to download or sync the Cloud Functions to the local environment on my laptop.
I mean some command using firebase-tools or another like:
git clone [project name]
git fetch [something]
Usually, we create some cloud functions using the Firebase Console, and I would like to have these functions locally to edit these when needed and deploy them again.
I know that firebase-tools have these two commands, but it is only for configurations:
functions:config:clone [options]
functions:config:get [options]
There's no provided solution for automatically copying or synchronizing functions that have already been deployed. You can certain get the source code for deployed functions, but the Firebase CLI will not automate that process for you.
Ideally, you will want to manage all of your functions from the same source control and CLI in order to deal with them all consistent. Editing functions from the console is primarily a convenience, not a proper deployment mechanism.
I have two projects for dev and prod. I want to be able to run a script to copy dev config to prod.
Firebase Remote Config has an API for programatically updating Remote Config. But as far as I can tell, you need to init admin with a project-specific service account. It seems like I would need two admin instances, but I'm not sure that's possible?
I'm wondering if someone has done this before and has an example script. Thanks!
See docs:
https://firebase.google.com/docs/remote-config/automate-rc
There is no Firebase Admin SDK for Flutter, so you'll have to implement this on a different platform that is supported. For a list of these platforms and instructions on setting it up, see the documentation on adding Firebase to a server.
For these platforms that the Firebase Admin SDK targets, you can create multiple instances of the FirebaseApp class, and initialize each of them with different credentials and project configuration. For examples of how to do this, see the documentation on initializing multiple apps.
I have cloud functions set up for a project that will be used by multiple projects. I understand that you can deploy those functions to different projects using firebase use and adding/using aliases. Is there a way to deploy the functions to all known project aliases?
There is nothing built in to the Firebase CLI to do this as each project is considered to be a fully separate environment. You can use the --project <alias_or_project_id> flag to deploy to different aliases without having to switch using firebase use:
firebase deploy --project alias1
firebase deploy --project alias2
firebase deploy --project alias3
You could write a shell script to do all of those one after another or in parallel.
The Firebase CLI doesn't have a command for that. You can write a shell script or some other program to automate the execution of firebase deploy as many times as needed for each project you want to deploy.
What's the best way to work with multiple environments/projects on firebase?
I can switch between firebase projects using the the CLI.
I see here how to add environment variables to a firebase project and access them through firebase-functions's .config() method.
Is there a way to do something similar on the client-side when using firebase hosting.
For example: I'm using Algolia to run searches. I have firebase-functions to keep the indexes up to date, and run the searches from the client. Both functions and the hosted content need to point to the right Algolia project depending on the environment. I'd like to tie both configs to the same switch; firebase use staging vs firebase use production, for example. What's the best way to go about that?
I've built an app with polymer 2.0 and polymerfire and deployed it into firebase hosting. This part is smooth.
But I wanted to maintain all my cloud functions as separate modules / separate projects and deploy them independently into firebase hosting. As per the Google IO 2017 talks, it is advised to go microservice style for the cloud functions.
The problem I am facing:
Whenever I deploy an individual module, it erases all the previously deployed cloud functions. Meaning firebase deploy from a project with only firebase functions enabled, will erase all the other cloud functions and deploy the ones declared in this project.
In a nutshell, it looks like I need to create a single monolith with the complete web application, all the cloud functions all in one single fat project and deploy the whole thing. This defeats the point of being microservice style!
Please advise if I am missing something important in the whole setup procedure?
You can deploy/undeploy individual functions with the Firebase tools/CLI version 3.8 or higher by specifying what function(s) to update: firebase deploy --only functions:function1,function2. It will still deploy all the code in your project, since the CLI doesn't "know" what file(s) are needed for each specific function. But it will then only update the function(s) that you specify.
