Building Scalable Apps with Cloud Firestore
summary
Cloud Firestore adds a serverless client SDKs + Firebase Auth + Cloud Functions, launches Datastore mode (no entity‑group limits, strong consistency), multi‑region locations and a draft SLA of five nines; supports managed exports to GCS and BigQuery and selective indexing including array‑contains. Customers show it works: a three‑person startup powers 100 million users, a sports company uploads offline force‑plate data that syncs and computes results, and a demo runs 40,000 simulated clients; platform scales to 1 million concurrent connections and up to 10k writes/sec (native beta) or 1M writes/sec in Datastore mode.
