Why Learn Firebase Firestore?

NoSQL Support:

  • Cloud Firestore is a scalable NoSQL cloud database for mobile, web, and server development from Firebase and Google Cloud Platform.

Realtime Updates:

  • Like Realtime Database, Cloud Firestore uses data synchronization to update data on any connected device.

Expressive Queries:

  • It is designed to make simple, one-time fetch queries efficiently.
  • In Cloud Firestore, you can use queries to get individual, specific documents or to get all the documents in a collection that match your query parameters.
  • Queries can include multiple filters and also filtering and sorting combined.

Offline Support:

  • The data that your app uses the most is cached so the app can interact with the data even if the device is offline.
  • When the device comes back online, Cloud Firestore synchronizes any local changes back to Cloud Firestore.

Flexibility:

  • Cloud Firestore data model supports flexible data structures.
  • You can store your data in documents and organize them into collections.
  • It is important to mention that documents except subcollections can contain complex nested objects as well.

Designed to Scale:

  • Cloud Firestore is designed to scale with automatic multi-region data replication and strong consistency.
  • It has been designed to handle the highest database workloads.
