All static files are hosting on CDN how Firebase make sure the most recent version of index.html file is fetched when the user made a network request?
Does this process involved with Nginx or something similar?
What's the process behind this One-click rollback?
When you deploy a version of you app/site, all the resources of your site/app are bundled up and sent to Firebase Hosting's servers. Firebase validates that the files are intact and then tells the CDN to flush its cache. The next time that an edge cache in the CDN receives a request for a file from your app/site, it requests that file from the Firebase Hosting origin servers.
The rollback of Firebase Hosting is quite similar to what happens when you deploy a new version of your site/app. Firebase Hosting takes the old bundle and essentially deploys it. From there the process is the same.

It might be a stupid question but curious to know. I have deployed an Angular app in Firebase hosting which loads the application faster. But whereas the same application deployed in the Windows server takes too long to load.
I would like to know what would be the configuration used in Firebase hosting**(RAM, Memory)**.
From the Firebase docs, I could able to see that it uses SSD-Backed hosting but where could i find the other details like how much RAM is used and does it uses any CDN.
There doesn't seem to be any configuration for the backend or if the resources are dedicated for a website listed in the documentation. Although it's not just about the server configuration especially since your app is a SPA and is just serving some HTML, JS files, so CDN seems to be making the difference here.
Firebase Hosting does cache your website on a global CDN and hence loading quickly everywhere. I'm not sure if you are using a CDN with your Windows server but if not then the difference sounds obvious (especially if your server is located far away from you). Firebase hosting also serves the files compressed using GZIP or Brotli compression.
I have deleted the published static content folder from the app service accidentally. there is no backup or snapshot recovery setting configured. Can I recover my static data back by any means?
Thanks in advance
Restore an app from a snapshot
Snapshots automatically create periodic restore points of your app when hosted in a Premium App Service plan.
You need upgrade your services plan first.
From the screenshoot, we can find that our webapp is automatically backed up every hour. Going back to the previous version where you deleted the file should solve your problem.
I am using a custom server with nextjs to inject some serverSideProps / getInitialProps into files. What I am doing is having something on the server update a json file every minute or so and then the getServerSideProps/getInitialProps functions read the json file from disk to populate data quickly (without having to do a network request for data).
Everything works great in localhost and when doing a build/running the build locally. In production / after deploying to vercel i get the error: Internal Server Error when trying to open a page. Vercel offers build logs but not any logs for the running custom server.
Is this likely a problem to do with unable to write to disk in the vm's that vercel uses to deploy apps?
Is there an example out there of how I can read/write to disk with a custom server in nextjs for this purpose?
Vercel is a serverless platform and doesn't support a custom server.
If possible, you can migrate away from the custom server (with API routes) or consider other hosting options.
Next.js Deployment
Is firebase serve, the development server for Firebase, just a plain vanilla web server that serves files over HTTP, or does it do something special for Firebase apps?
More specifically, is there any reason to use firebase serve in development if it's more convenient in my situation to use another development web server (e.g., webpack-dev-server or a local Apache or IIS)?
The firebase serve command in the Firebase CLI interprets the instructions in your firebase.json file and serves the web site based on those.
If you're using another local dev server, you'll have to make sure it follows the same rules. That's typically not hard, but it somewhat of a hassle to ensure the firebase.json and configuration of the dev server stay in sync.
I have an ASP.NET MVC Application running as an Azure Cloud Service WebRole and I need to b able to upload files to my /Views/Whatever directory so I can quickly edit files on the fly without having to re-publish which can take 30 minutes.
How can I set the permissions to allow me to save files to this path?
If it's a single instance Web Role (which I assume it would be, I can't imagine you editing files on each one of the instances), then you can just enable Web Deploy on your deployment and be done. Then you can use Web Deploy to send the updates to your site without having to RDP. Just keep in mind that if for whatever reason the machine has to be moved or re-imaged (e.g. host updates) you'll lose your changes if they are not part of the Cloud Package (cspkg).
You can enable the option as part of the deployment of your Cloud Service.
