About

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.

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.
