Google's Cloud Firestore (DBaaS) doesn't have a way to count records
Why?
- squidc 7y agoIsn't this as basic of functionality you could ask for in a DBaaS product?
- uberman 7y agoWhile I completely empathize with you, that can be tricky in a fully distributed document store and to be fair, counting records in dynamodb is also a PITA. Have you checked out using distributed counters to track the record count yourself? Read through the answers on this SO post. That might help. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46554091/firebase-firestore-collection-count https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46554091/firebase-firest...
- squidc 7y agoFair point. Yea, this is the approach I ultimately settled on, but it surprised me to find out that such a simple operation as "count" isn't supported by firebase.
