Hey there👋 We have a react app with Firebase Functions and Firestore for the backend, and I'm looking to integrate Typesense cloud for search. I'm considering two approaches: 1. Direct client-side integration with Typesense cloud. 2. Routing search requests through a Firebase Function proxy. My main concerns are latency and security. Can you advise on: • Best practices for secure direct client-side integration, especially regarding API key management (frequent key changes) with a focus on security, protecting HMAC keys, etc. • Any principles you might have when deciding on whether the client side or server proxy is the better approach for a given search use case.
