Datastore

Being deprecated for Firestore

Cloud Firestore is the next generation of Cloud Datastore.

Comparisons with AWS

• API Gateway
  • No GCP Equivalent
  • Custom domains have to go through Firebase Hosting
  • GCP Cloud Functions can be automatically deployed to an endpoint with a flag
• Firestore has better free rates
  • No on-demand/provisioned limitations
• Lambda
  • Need to test async/await
  • Seems you launch individual functions than a group of functions
    • Lambda has "Applications", GCP doesn't seem to have an equivalent way to group
    • Potentially more name clashing
  • Distinct difference between HTTP Triggers and Event Triggers
