Here are the differences (from the linked article) 1. Realtime Database (RDB) allows 100k max concurrent connections, while Cloud Firestore (CF) allows 1M, per database 2. RTDB does not allow easy queries across multiple fields while CF does allow it without you having to create sperate join fields 3. There is no compromise on speed in CF. CF can store bigger data but will return results in the same time (size of DB does not matter - query is always optimized) 4. CF is much easier to scale if your App becomes popular 5. You can fetch an individual node or point in CF, thus no need to fetch unwanted data. 6. RTDB is much more natural for chat applications. While CF allows one-time fetch and you can add listeners, but that functionality is not 'natural' for real-time database applications. 7. CF store data across multiple regions, if one server goes down, data is server from another server without loss of data. RTDB only stores data in the US, and does not support other regions. 8. CF has slightly high uptime and availability than RTDB. 9. They have different pricing models. Data for RTDB and No of request for CF

OK, I know this might sound pretty weird, but Firebase is the reason why I'm so eager to continue developing Android apps. I'm relatively new to the scene, been doing it for the past few months. And although I'm not at the level of calling myself the "real" Android app developer, Firebase has such an amazing documentation that makes you want to implement it in your app and try out different things. It's amazing just how complex this thing is, especially for someone like myself who's fairly inexperienced, but if I'm capable of navigating through the documents and *actually making progress*, then anyone can. Good job to the team for making this awesome product. If I'll ever publish an app, it will probably have at least some Firebase compontent in it! Awesome work, you've got yourself a fan here!

This video sure does explain the differences...

Didn’t answer the question

Wow, there is so much good content explaining Firestore

Hi Firebase, Can you tell me when there will be a button for backing up the data from the firestore ( like in the realtime database)? #AskFirebase

The best title for the video, it certainly explains the difference between the two ... for 2 seconds 5:07 to 5:08

Can you tell me how login first from Google OAuth in a website and then log out? Then log in from facebook, I got the same account in both OAuth login. Why? How to manage this in firebase web?

man id love to work with Todd, he seems like an awesome person!

Great video!! Thanks for the links, they will help a lot.

Sir I want to develop two android apps. First app that store some edit text value into firestore cloud db. And the second app that shows that value into textviews. So how to do that. how I retrieve data from different firestore cloud project.

If I write to cloud firestore the same data that is already in the same place does that count as a write? So if I update one of my documents with same data that is already inside of that document so no change is being made to cloud firestore document does that still count as a write to database?

could you do a firecast how one would integrate a hosted firebase app with stripe (maybe even chargebee)?

How Can I Export the data from Cloud Firestore toa CSV or JSON file like the Realtime database?

Wow. A video TITLED "What's the Difference Between Cloud Firestore & Firebase Realtime Database?" does "answer" that question by saying: yeah, go read a blog post about it. Great job guys! /s

can i use firebase spark plan for a particular project that will not expand its reads and writes for years. Is it actually free regarding time. And how can I backup my database using console { Firestore}.

#AskFirebase 1. do you have a planned release date of Firestore stable version to be used in production environment? 2. is it possible to fix a warm up time problem for Cloud Functions? 3. I am using Blaze plan with some Cloud Functions, do I have to pay for Google Cloud Playform too? I have been switching from Realtime Db to Firestore for a while, and waiting for stable release to have my app released too!

if I have a cloud firestore, I want to export data to local, how can I do it?

#AskFirebase I want to use Firestore in my new Unity3D project. When firestore will be available for Unity3D. Is it good idea to start with firebase realtime database and then migrate to firestore when it releases. How much efforts it will add ?

Hi ... i tried multiple time to read a specific dara from realtime database . Like user/info , under info i saved my won personal detail. But when i called the data using this url. I can't face the data, i think , you can add a short query for collter this data. Like ref(user/info).getData(); then we can use this as a array. In our view . #askfirebase

But why is there a simple "storage" with much lower pricing? Whats the different here to firestore or realtime database?

#AskFirebase Let say i have users , movies and startReview document startReview has userId and movieId and numberOfStar my question is how to retrieve user name and movie name from startReview in android there is no query can be select from multi-documents so how i can retrieve this date and display in recyclerView ?.

Is that possible to connect nodemcu to firebase storage

#Askfirebase why do I have to use order_by when using start_after when querying?

Can you make a tutorial on elastic search integration?

two geniuos - excellent work

how to create the api end point for cloud firestore using python?

inside my app project , can i mix these two database up ? what i mean is can i put half of my project in old realtime database and half of my data use firestore ? thanx

So Firestore is a document database which does not support full text search. Realtime database is json based shared structure?

How can i make order sorting without using the inequlity as priority in first orderby? e.g where("geopoint",'>',' .. '). where("geopoint",'

#AskFirebase Sorry for asking this question many time I want to know if there is any way to use c# or vb.net to build Rest Clint for Firebase remote config Api ? Pleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase help

#AskFirebase Hello, I just wanna ask one thing that gets me confuse. Whenever I add a single item using FireStore the 'REMOVED' .getType() is always being called before the 'ADDED' document type. Is this really how FireStore addOnSnapshotListener works? I use switch (doc.getType()){ case ADDED: break; case REMOVED: break; case MODIFIED: break;}

#askfirebase does it make sense to use both realtime db and firestore? Any example use case?

#AskFirebase I‘m a little bit confused now. Can Firestore DB only generate 500 documents that include a server timestamp per second in general, or is there 500 timestamps/second limit per collection?

#askfirebase When I make tutorial videos about Firestore, am I allowed to use a few of your official images?

the real big missing piece here is the query function. I'm using firebase for basic database structure but for complicated search query and joint tables I still prefer sqldb. I hope google can create a features that runs like an sql.

#AskFirebase How many instances can be use when using Blaze since the spark is able to take 10 thousand working at the same time?

make a playlist on the security of firestore database, please!!!

can i manage the backend of firebase database, what i mean is i created a social media app, the posts that each user created i added a time stamp to it, once posts pass 7 days limit ,those outdated posts will be removed automatically ? how can i make this possible? thanks so much

Não entendi até hoje, se tenho registro de usuário no REAL TIME DATABASE, como posso pegar esses usuários registrados para serem vistos pelo FIRESTONE DATABASE e criar coleções referentes a esses usuários registrados no REALTIME DATABASE? Esse vídeo é insuficiente para eu entender o que um relacionamento entre REALTIME E FIRESTONE trabalhando em conjunto. Alguém me salva?

#AskFirebase What is the best practice for generating reports using firestore? As of now I have written a few cloud functions that calculates aggregate data in real time as data is being added in my app. However, after I deploy the app, I am not sure how to add new reports to the system. My cloud functions listen to data being added and not the previous data. What would be the right way to go over previous data as well as listen to new data when I need to add a new report?

#AskFirebase When will Firestore come out of beta?

#AskFirebase It is possible to export a document of a collection using pre-defined key? For example how do I get all of my users "First Name"s in a txt file?

Big fan

Can you do fanout updates with firestore? Also, how would you do a many to many relationship? Specifically users and groups.

why realtime db is not working

3rd time I am asking, why don't you support the in function to search for a list of documents IDs like.how mongo DB does it #askfirebase say get list of all users whose document ID in [x1,X2,X3,x4,x5]

#askfirebase anything special to watch out for when building PWAs with Firebase?

Soooooooo, FireStore needs a way to recognize which user is signed in.

Firebase RTDB and Datastore are the same?

#AskFirebase why no cloud functions in spark plan? Even like an absolute minimum would allow me to learn how to use them and integrate in app.

WHERES THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION IN THE TITLE THO

nice

We need a video explaining the differences between Cloud Datastore and Cloud Firestore.

Hi Jen . I'm new user firebase . How i send my quest

#AskFirebase I am beginner at Firebase and I just wanna know how I can access data without using onDataChange events. I mean just accessing the data without waiting its value to change

#AskFirebase How to enable automatic backup for Firestore?

I still don't understand, if I have a user registration in REAL TIME DATABASE, how can I get these registered users to be seen by FIRESTONE DATABASE and create collections referring to these registered users in REALTIME DATABASE? This video is insufficient for me to understand what a relationship between REALTIME and FIRESTONE is working together. Someone save me?

Ii came hero to know what's the difference, and what I got?

#AskFirebase How to save images in cloud firestore or realtime database for Android App so they can be displayed when the user invokes them?

#AskFirebase I am using Firestore for my newest project. But I have few problems. 1. How can I do a search activity where I can search the data based on on a field and show it to a recyclerview? 2.

#AskFirebase Cloud Firestore is awesome, when and why we still need Firebase Realtime Database??

Firestore - OR query how can i perform or condition? #AskFirebase

each time i see that guy i think of Robin Williams

I love you 😍😍

People want one million of functionality but that fail to see the value in the serverless

I went from 1)ranting about the lack of Firestore geo-queries, and vowing to be the FIRST person to grab Todd on the street and demand answers... to 2) realizing it's impossible to think anything besides "he's awesome," after seeing his facial expressions from 6:01 to 6:04, and how he handled the hashtag letdown. Wait... ok, yeah. I've snapped back out of it. Seriously, where are the geo-queries? Did some lawyer stiff you guys on a bad deal with the original GeoFire? Or is it simply that not enough people want this? Would love an estimated date.. or an Alpha invite... (: #askfirebase

#AskFirebase Silly/Noob question: How do I get "firebase.firestore().collection('items').onSnapshot(querySnapshot => { ... })" to contain only a newly added document? If I add a document to the "items" collection, querySnapshot contains all documents in that collection, not just the newly added one. Do I need to update my items query with a new timestamp each time, or is there something more automagic that I am missing? I am using Web/NodeJS.

We want Logical OR

Remember: Firestore Limit of 500 writes/second limit

but did you answer the question?

So with this title .. I thought the video would have the answer. #boywasiwrong

It's ironic that this video doesn't explicitly answer the question posed by its title. Rather, it sends you to a lengthy blog post linked in the description. Sigh. For those interested, the relevant paragraphs read: While the Firebase Realtime Database is basically a giant JSON tree where anything goes and lawlessness rules the land, Cloud Firestore is more structured. Cloud Firestore is a document-model database, which means that all of your data is stored in objects called documents that consist of key-value pairs - and these values can contain any number of things, from strings to floats to binary data to JSON-y looking objects the team likes to call maps. These documents, in turn, are grouped into collections. This new structure gives you several important advantages in being able to query your data. For starters, all queries are shallow, meaning that you can simply fetch a document without having to fetch all of the data contained in any of the linked subcollections. This means you can store your data hierarchically in a way that makes sense logically without worrying about downloading tons of unnecessary data.

More than 95% of the time you will have to pick firestore than a real-time database.

fun faaact..!?

Since you guys say you are listening.. Here is A very important point- Do you know why non Google developers or any random developers Firebase videos are more appreciated than yours? Its because they don't keep saying, "In the links below". Every Jens video has her saying that with her customary nod! Not in the best taste of encouraging young developers

why google, why

xD

Who is this Jen Person?

Maybe i'm worng, but is this a AI video?

Firebase performance is slow .

Horrible format
