Google Firestore vs Amazon DynamoDB
Developers should use Firestore when building applications requiring real-time updates, such as chat apps, collaborative tools, or live dashboards, due to its built-in real-time listeners meets developers should use dynamodb for applications requiring low-latency, high-throughput access to data at any scale, such as web and mobile apps, gaming, iot, and ad-tech platforms. Here's our take.
Google Firestore

Google Firestore
Nice PickDevelopers should use Firestore when building applications requiring real-time updates, such as chat apps, collaborative tools, or live dashboards, due to its built-in real-time listeners
Pros
- +It's also ideal for mobile and web apps needing offline data persistence and seamless synchronization when connectivity is restored, as it handles this automatically
- +Related to: google-cloud-platform, firebase
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Amazon DynamoDB
Developers should use DynamoDB for applications requiring low-latency, high-throughput access to data at any scale, such as web and mobile apps, gaming, IoT, and ad-tech platforms
Pros
- +It is ideal when you need a serverless database that automatically handles scaling, maintenance, and replication, reducing operational overhead compared to self-managed databases
- +Related to: aws, nosql
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Google Firestore if: You want it's also ideal for mobile and web apps needing offline data persistence and seamless synchronization when connectivity is restored, as it handles this automatically and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Amazon DynamoDB if: You prioritize it is ideal when you need a serverless database that automatically handles scaling, maintenance, and replication, reducing operational overhead compared to self-managed databases over what Google Firestore offers.
