### Firestore

* What it is: A serverless NoSQL Document Database. It stores data in JSON-like documents. It is heavily used for mobile and web apps because it offers real-time syncing (when data changes in the DB, it instantly updates on the user's phone screen).
* Equivalents:
  * AWS: Amazon DynamoDB
  * Azure: Azure Cosmos DB (NoSQL API)
