Realtime Database and Firestore

The Firebase offering is a bit weird. It offers a "Google Cloud Platform Light" kind of service. When I made this video, the Realtime database was the only one they offered - recently, however, they released Firestore.

Firestore is much more of a document store model, whereas the realtime database is kind of like a giant document. There are differences and I hope to add a video about it soon.
