The extremely poor JOIN functionality is what turned me away from Firebase a couple of years ago.
I come from 25+ years of SQL, and Firebase was my choice for essentially my first 'real world' NoSQL project. I was enjoying it right up to the bit where I had to extract data from 2, and 3 data tables at the same time in a single query. Couldn't believe how verbose and painful it was and it made me drop NoSQL for a while before more recently going back to it (with RethinkDB).
- katowulf 10y agoA lot of the join functionality can now be simulated by using functions to effectively create views or map reduce data to distilled output. We've got a lot more to come on this front. Functions was just first on the list.
- Liron 10y agoDo you think there will ever be some kind of materialized views / declarative data denormalization?
