There's a description of what a simultaneous database connection in Firebase is here - https://firebase.google.com/pricing/#faq-simultaneous - but I'm still not totally sure how a connection is defined.

If there's 1 person logged in to Firebase on my app and he's listening for changes on 10 different paths in my real time database, does that count as 11 simultaneous connections?

  • A single app on a single device in a single process will be a single connection.

  • So database connections are the same as concurrent users?! – Holger Sindbaek May 22 '16 at 01:28
  • Yes. We're hoping the new term will lead to less confusion. – Frank van Puffelen May 22 '16 at 01:32
  • Why does it say "finished with status: 'connection error'" if I do too many simultaneous database connections (from a single request)? – pete Jun 17 '17 at 07:41
