Welcome to Part 20 of the MongoDB Firebase Cloud Functions Training series! In this final CRUD-focused session, you’ll implement Update and Delete API routes using Firebase Cloud Functions and MongoDB. By the end of this video, you’ll have a fully functional, secure backend that allows authenticated users to modify or remove data from your collections.
With token validation, error handling, and clean code separation, your app will be production-ready for managing dynamic user data.
✅ What You’ll Learn in This Video:
✔️ Creating a PUT endpoint to update a MongoDB document by _id
✔️ Writing a DELETE endpoint to remove a specific document
✔️ Validating Firebase ID tokens before processing any requests
✔️ Performing update/delete operations using the MongoDB driver
✔️ Sending structured success or error responses to the client
💡 Why This Step Matters:
🔹 Completes your backend with full CRUD functionality
🔹 Lets users edit or remove their data securely
🔹 Builds the foundation for admin tools, dashboards, or personal settings pages
