I don't think many production applications use it as a database to be honest. I'm sure there are, but I'm not familiar with which ones!

One thing I've been thinking about is actually using Google Sheets as a database, but then running cron jobs to "save" the info into a more traditional database, to improve with speed.

As for your questions, I really shouldn't be mixing the functions and var/const. I typically write normal functions, so anything you see that's a normal function was probably code written by me. In a few cases, the arrow functions were probably the snippet code copied from Google's API docs. :)
