Firebase Development in Loughborough
Building on Firebase for Loughborough organisations, where the data model follows the screens rather than the entities. Firestore cannot join collections or aggregate cheaply, so information is duplicated into the shape each view needs — and every duplicate is something that has to be kept correct when the original changes.
Why this comes up
The problem
Author names were copied onto every post for display, and renaming an author leaves them stale everywhere.
What you get
What we deliver
- Data modelled around the queries the application actually makes
- Duplication introduced deliberately, with a mechanism for keeping copies current
- Counters and aggregates maintained incrementally rather than computed on read
- Query costs understood, since billing follows documents read rather than time
- Indexes defined for the queries that need them, as composite ones are explicit
- Cloud Functions used for the writes that must not be left to the client

Working in Loughborough
East Midlands
Loughborough punches well above its size on research and sports technology, and spin-outs from the university are a recurring source of work that starts as a prototype and needs to become a product.
University spin-outs and sports technology firms make up much of the work, usually turning a working prototype into something robust enough for customers.

Firebase Development in Loughborough — common questions
- Why is duplication unavoidable?
- Because there are no joins. A screen showing posts with author names either performs a read per author or stores the name alongside the post, and at any scale the second is the only workable option — which makes consistency your responsibility rather than the database's.
- How are duplicates kept correct?
- Usually with a function reacting to the change. When the source record updates, a Cloud Function propagates it to the copies — which needs writing, testing and monitoring, and is the ongoing cost of the model rather than a one-off piece of work.
- How does billing work?
- Largely on documents read, written and deleted. A screen that reads a hundred documents to display ten is charged for a hundred, so the shape of your data has a direct and continuing cost consequence that is easy to overlook in development.
- What about counts and totals?
- They should be maintained rather than calculated. Counting documents to display a total reads every one of them, so keeping a running count updated as records change is both faster and considerably cheaper — and it needs building deliberately.
- Do you work with businesses across Leicestershire?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout East Midlands, including Loughborough and the surrounding Leicestershire area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Loughborough businesses do you usually work with?
- University spin-outs and sports technology firms make up much of the work, usually turning a working prototype into something robust enough for customers. Beyond that we work across Sports Technology, Higher Education, Engineering and Research & Development.
- Do you cover the areas around Loughborough?
- Yes — we work throughout East Midlands, including Leicester, Nottingham, Derby. Loughborough is an urban area of roughly 60,000+, and we take on work across the wider Leicestershire region rather than the city boundary alone.
