Is there any possibility in Firebase Cloud System to configure messages to be sended for example in a 10 minutes basis without using an external server?
Cron jobs are possible with Firebase Cloud Functions. But you'll have to integrate it with Google App Engine ( at least for now, anyway ).

This should help you too.

I am making a web game. When certain time is reached, a new round should begin. Therefore, a firestore document should be changed at the time. I implemented this by calling a cloud function locally, counting timer on the client with the local time. However if the client closes the connection, the cloud function cannot be launched. How could I solve this problem?
Thank you.
I found out that google cloud scheduler functions has evolved to cloud tasks. I think this would perfectly match my circumstances. Having a look at the documentation.

We are using Cloud Functions for Firebase as a backend for our JavaScript application. We want to communicate to one of our customers a somewhat deterministic behavior of our API endpoints. Is there any information available on timings regarding cold starts and instance shutdowns?
How long does it take until an idle instance is shut down?
How many users do they need to have during a specified amount of time so that they do not encounter too many cold starts?
This is not published information, and the implementation details may change at any time.

I'm developing a chat-like Firebase project with a cloud function that sends every chat message to a GAE app to index the text so that I can do text queries with the Search API.
The Firebase function pricing page (https://cloud.google.com/functions/pricing) says that "outbound data to other Google APIs in the same region is free".
First question: Does this apply to my case? I mean, my GAE app would have the same consideration as any other Google API?
Second question: In such case, how do I know both services are in the same region?
Your own GAE instance is not considered a "Google API". Google APIs are services like Gmail, Cloud Translate, and reCAPTCHA, which are fully controlled by Google.

I've been working on an idea that I'd like to implement ( I've written a paper on it) . The method that I've mentioned includes sending notifications to android users present in an area without specifically installing my app.
First, is it possible?
Second, I've looked into Firebase cloud messaging- I'm aware that it should be tethered to an app but is it necessary that the user has to download the app?
Third, are there any other methods by which this type of push notifications can be sent? ( Based on location)
Finally, I'm sorry if you feel I haven't​ put any effort I'm new to this. Thanks in advance.
Such a service is known as Cell Broadcast when talking about SMS/Text messaging.
There is nothing built in for it in Firebase Cloud Messaging. Even if there was, it would require an app that uses Firebase Cloud Messaging.
