About

Bigtable is a distributed NoSQL key-value and wide-column database designed for low-latency, high-throughput workloads at large scale.

It stores data in sparsely populated tables with automatic sharding and replication, supports single-digit millisecond latency, SSD and HDD storage tiers, continuous backups, and SQL queries through BigQuery integration.

Cloud Firestore is a scalable, enterprise-grade, JSON-compatible document database from Firebase and Google Cloud.

It offers offline support and real-time listeners, provides strong consistency, atomic batch writes, automatic multi-region replication, and scales to about 1M concurrent client connections and 10,000 writes per second.
