Creating an uptime check

When we created a Firebase project earlier to host the web application, it automatically created a corresponding Google Cloud Platform project (GCP). Without any additional effort, we are able to leverage all services provided by GCP. If you want to get a great overview of GCP’s every service described in 4 words or less, check this link.

We are interested in Cloud Monitoring, in which one of the features is called Uptime checks. To enable that:

  2. In the blue bar at the top, to the right of the Google Cloud Platform text, make sure your Firebase project is selected.
