firebase.database () multiple instances

I am using firebase realtime database and I was wondering which is a better pattern regarding
firebase.database()
is it considered bad practice to have multiple instances of this. Is it better if I have a single instance of the database which is exported within the node app. Or is it basically the same thing to create a new instance for every single action creator file.
import * as firebase from 'firebase';
firebase.initializeApp(config);
export const provider = new firebase.auth.GoogleAuthProvider();
export const auth = firebase.auth();
export default firebase;
I have this approach for the firebase app instance and I am unsure if a similar pattern is required for the database instance as well. There weren't any specifications within the firebase docs.

Every time you call one of the product methods on the firebase object that you get from the import, it will give you exactly the same object in return. So, every time you call firebase.auth(), you'll get the same thing back, and every time you call firebase.database(), you'll get the same thing. How you want to manage those instances is completely your preference.

My answer is saying that there are not actually multiple instances. There is one instance, and you're holding a reference to it in multiple places. Each reference takes a few bytes.
