omg, I literally just yesterday started working on a project of the same name. I had written a small ORM for my own firestore usage that I planned on open sourcing. I just looked at this and the fact that it doesn't support transactions is a major dealbreaker. So you do an update on two entities and one fails because of some random network error, now your database is left in an inconsistent state. Not good. Any ORM should, from the start, be written around transactions. The other issue here is how the tests are written. I appreciate tests, but in this case, they are written agains the client sdk, not the admin sdk. I discovered a huge inconsistency between the two API's that I just filed an issue for... which this project doesn't hit, because it doesn't use transactions... https://github.com/firebase/firebase-js-sdk/issues/2112
In Show HN: Firestorm – An ORM for Firestore
The backend is almost entirely custom, though many common low-level open-source components are used pervasively. For example, for components written in C++ we use Abseil, Google Test, etc. The SDKs are all open source and make use of other open source components: * Android: https://github.com/firebase/firebase-android-sdk/tree/master/firebase-firestore * iOS: https://github.com/firebase/firebase-ios-sdk/tree/master/Firestore * Web: https://github.com/firebase/firebase-js-sdk/tree/master/packages/firestore For example, the iOS SDK uses LevelDB for local key-value storage and gRPC for communication with the backend.
In Google Cloud Firestore NoSQL database is in GA
