title: Deploy Angular 8 Universal (SSR) application on Firebase
body: <p>I recently upgraded my Angular 8 application to be an Universal application (SSR). I had it deployed to Firebase before it was a SSR application, but then I figured out that deploying a SSR application on Firebase doesn't work by using regular Firebase Hosting. I did some research and discovered that I have to use <a href="https://firebase.google.com/docs/functions" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><em>Firebase Cloud Functions</em></a>.</p>
  
  <p>I created a SSR application using:</p>
  
  <pre><code>ng add @nguniversal/express-engine --clientProject PROJECT_NAME
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><em><code>PROJECT_NAME</code> can be found in <code>angular.json</code> file below <code>"projects"</code> section.</em></p>
  
  <p>Can anyone help me with this?</p>
