🆚 Bigtable vs. Firebase Realtime Database

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.

The Firebase Realtime Database is a NoSQL cloud-hosted database developed by Google.

It stores data as JSON, synchronizes updates in real time across all connected clients, supports built-in offline persistence so apps continue working without network, and scales to around 200,000 concurrent client connections and 1,000 writes per second in a single database.
