Description

Fast, scalable, highly available, and fully managed MongoDB-compatible database service

All data is stored inside objects which are linked by so-called link attributes. Objects consist of classes which can be extended and de-extended at runtime. Graphs can be defined with a struct.

Cloud Firestore is an auto-scaling document database for storing, syncing, and querying data for mobile and web apps. It offers seamless integration with other Firebase and Google Cloud Platform products.

An embeddable, non-blocking, type-safe key-value store for single or multiple disks and in-memory storage
