      • Firestore is a Document Driven Database.
      • Documents follow a property:value format - JSON.
      • Scalable, highly performant, and document oriented.
      • The databases tend to scale more easily horizontally.
    • Concepts

      • Records in Firestore are known as "Documents".
        • These documents are just JSON data.
      • Documents are grouped into "Collections" which are equivalent to tables in relational databases.
      • Queries are still queries, however there is no SQL.
