I've been using cloud firestore for 6 months now and haven't had an issue with it. Designing around their rules system has been annoying, and the lack of backups bit me once pretty hard (I built https://firesafe.app https://firesafe.app as a result), but other than that it's been great.
- thesandlord 8y agoI think one of the requirements for Firestore going GA was getting a b̶a̶c̶k̶u̶p̶ managed export system: https://firebase.google.com/docs/firestore/manage-data/export-import https://firebase.google.com/docs/firestore/manage-data/expor... Edit: As wsh91 says below, you are still responsible for the scheduling. (I work for GCP)
- vira28 8y agoright, but didn't see anything mentioned about backup in the link. or am i missing anything?
- wsh91 8y agoAn export is one component of a backup solution. :) Scheduling is another (https://firebase.google.com/docs/firestore/solutions/schedule-export https://firebase.google.com/docs/firestore/solutions/schedul...). (Checking restores is critical, too; that's also feasible [managed import into a new cloud project] but requires a bit more legwork.) (I work on Cloud Firestore.)
- jmvoodoo 8y agoFWIW, I'd love it if you made my app unnecessary. You can consider my site a list of feature requests :)
- vira28 8y agoOh wow! I am just using this https://github.com/ChristianAlexander/FirestoreRestore https://github.com/ChristianAlexander/FirestoreRestore with cloud functions & cloud storage.
