Google Firestore
Google Firestore is a flexible, scalable NoSQL cloud database for mobile, web, and server development from Google Cloud. It offers real-time data synchronization, offline support, and automatic multi-region replication. It's designed to store and sync data for client- and server-side development, with a document-oriented data model.
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. 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. Additionally, its serverless nature and integration with other Google Cloud services make it suitable for scalable applications without managing infrastructure.
