Google Cloud Datastore

Google Cloud Datastore is a fully managed, schemaless, highly scalable NoSQL document database for web and mobile applications, originally based on Google's Bigtable / Megastore stack. The service has since been rebranded as Firestore in Datastore mode, which preserves the Datastore API and data model while running on Firestore's storage layer for strong consistency and higher throughput. The Cloud Datastore REST API provides entity lookups, queries (including GQL), transactions, and project operations against datastore.googleapis.com, authenticated with Google OAuth 2.0 / service-account credentials.

Google Cloud Datastore publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network: Projects API. Tagged areas include NoSQL, Database, Document Database, Google Cloud, and Firestore.

Google Cloud Datastore’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, pricing, signup flow, developer console, and 8 more developer resources.
