| How we spent $30k in Firebase in less than 72 hours

By not checking Google Billing after you launch your website. At the very least you should have a billing alert.

At the very least Google (and really all cloud services) could have reasonable default billing alerts built in. And automatic spike detection.

I'd rather have default alerts already configured that I can change, rather than none.
