What is firestore best for?

Conclusion. Like most database solutions, Firestore has its pros and cons. I believe that Firestore is a great solution for startups (especially MVPs and smaller applications) as it is very cheap with little usage and quick to set up. As you scale, you can migrate off to a more cost-effective solution as needed.

Cloud Firestore also features richer, faster queries and scales further than the Realtime Database . Realtime Database is Firebase’s original database. It’s an efficient, low-latency solution for mobile apps that require synced states across clients in realtime.

Cloud Firestore is Firebase’s fully managed cloud-native NoSQL document database that is fast and serverless. It simplifies syncing, storing, and querying data for mobile, web , as well as IoT apps. With the benefit of Google Cloud, it offers great scalability. It provides live synchronization and offline support.
