Google Cloud Enhances Databases with Firestore and MongoDB Features
Google, April 28,2025
At the recent Google Cloud Next 2025, Google Cloud announced the preview of Firestore with MongoDB compatibility, introducing support for the MongoDB API and query language. This capability allows users to store and query semi-structured JSON data within Google Cloud's real-time document database.
Firestore with MongoDB compatibility is backed by a serverless infrastructure offering single-digit-millisecond read performance, automatic scaling, and high availability. Minh Nguyen, senior product manager at Google Cloud, and Patrick Costello, engineering manager at Google Cloud, stated: "Firestore developers can now take advantage of MongoDB's API portability along with Firestore's differentiated serverless service, to enjoy multi-region replication with strong consistency, virtually unlimited scalability, industry-leading high availability of up to 99.999% SLA, and single-digit milliseconds read performance."
