Firestore

## What is Firestore?

Firestore software is a NoSQL document database and part of the Google Cloud Platform. It enables app developers to store, sync, and share data between users and devices in real-time via. The platform features access security options and client libraries for Android, iOS, and web-enabled devices. Offline support allows apps to run in the background regardless of their connection status. It enables developers and decision-makers to browse the data using a tree structure interface and customize the structure for various query and fetching options. Since Firestore works in real-time, it allows users to send manual requests and captures database changes as soon as they occur. The data gets replicated across multiple regions and is checked for consistency. Transactions are multi-document, allowing users to perform complex data operations. It integrates with Firebase Authentication for easy sign-ins and other cloud functions so that users can scale up or down depending on the workload.

Could be one of the best databases around, but lacks too many features to be called a database. There are some signs of recovery, but we are still far from a minimum level of functionality.

Pros

It's easy to use, and there are a lot of SDKs for many languages.It's scalable, you don't have to worry about performance.

Cons

You cannot schedule an automatic backup.There are no aggregate functions (no sum, no avg..), just count now in "preview".You can't change location.

Overall I am extremely satisfied with Firestore as the method calls are easy to learn and it has a great integration with Firebase.

Pros

Firestore is extremely easy to get started with for beginners. It provides a self-explanatory user interface which shows the no-sql database clearly. One can get it up and working within a day with no issues. It has been my go-to database for mobile apps due to it's hassle-free and flexible implementation.

Cons

It might need more resources to guide users on more advanced features like security of the database, as new users will not be able to set up a robust database without any help.

Pros

It is fast, reliable, easy to manage & very secure.

Like the first time of anything, you need to learn new things to get the most out of it, but in our world. Thats very okay :)

Firestore is still largely for testing purposes if you're a small business. Only enterprises would have the resources to maintain something like Firestore and manage scalability. But hopefully that's changing.

Pros

Robust, super flexible, blazing fast, unlimited possibilities, and probably the most reliable backend and database solution ever.

Cons

Deployment, development and customisability are not exactly beginner-friendly. Also, no easy way to manage data and maintain integrity in the structure. Its biggest strength (flexibility) is also its biggest weakness.
