Great tutorial Levi!
Are you able to test this API locally (hitting a local firestore) or you have to deploy it whenever you want to test an endpoint?

You need to deploy and hit the endpoint to test the whole thing, but you can test you JavaScript code using a local server but you need to set it up. This is serverless, so Google Cloud Function handles it for you.
