Firestore in Datastore mode is a NoSQL fully-managed database that supports atomic transactions and provides flexible storage and massive scalability, with encryption at rest. It’s a very interesting option for web backends and mobile applications.
Firestore in Datastore mode is a rebranding and the next evolution of Datastore.
