Cloud Firestore updates from Firebase Summit #Shorts
summary
Firestore now offers a COUNT() aggregation that returns query or collection totals without reading documents, reducing cost and latency; hard caps on write throughput and concurrent active connections are removed so databases absorb large traffic spikes instead of throttling; Time‑to‑Live (TTL) policies are generally available and auto‑delete expired documents on a schedule; these changes target scalable counting, unrestricted write bursts, and automated retention enforcement across projects.
