I'm building an app using firebase in Polymer. It is tempting to create a new firebase-collection for each ajax call I might have made in the past. Since firebase.com bills based on the maximum number of simultaneous connections (sessions?), I'm worried that the firebase-element components each count as one connection. Thus, if there are ten firebase-elements in a page it will be counted as 10 connections instead of one.
Do I need to design the page to minimize the number of firebase-elements? How are connections counted when using firebase-elements?
Firebase opens a web socket when a page makes a first connection to its servers. All subsequent data reads/writes for that page happen over the same web socket.
