What is Firestore?
Now to store the data of users, we require database . There are mainly 2 most used database services, namely Google Firestore and AWS (amazon web services).
But we will be using the first, Google Firestore. The main reason for using firestore is that, it provides free usage upto 1 gb data without credit card intervention, while aws provides first 12 months free 5 gb data storage but requires initially credit card to create account .
Both are good choices. To know more about the following:
