Hey, I am using this repo to build my cloud functions for my Alacena - Recipe Explorer App.
Feel free to see how I set it up. Basically I am just adding a few node functions that you
can find under the packages/cloud folder that are the backend of my app.
I followed this tutorial to understand them.
