Cloud Firestore for Game Developers

on YouTube ↗18m

" summary

Cloud Firestore is now available as an alpha release for game developers and exposes a NoSQL documents-and-collections model with 1 megabyte documents, offline caching, realtime listeners, atomic transactions, and multi-region strong consistency so queries scale to the size of the result set rather than the entire dataset. Practical uses include cloud saves, shared turn-based state, daily challenges, and a globally scalable cache in front of legacy servers. Unity/C# client libraries are new, some advanced queries and numeric transforms are missing and the API surface will change.
