Google Cloud Datastore
Return to Misconfigured,
Google Cloud Datastore, introduced in May 2013, is a highly scalable, fully managed NoSQL database service on the Google Cloud Platform. It's built on Google's Bigtable and Google Megastore technologies, enabling database creation in either Native Mode for mobile and web apps or Datastore Mode for new server projects.
Development History
Initially released within Google App Engine in 2008, Cloud Datastore became a standalone product by 2013, announced at Google I/O. The evolution continued with the introduction of Firestore in 2018, offering backward compatibility and an upgrade path for existing Datastore databases.
GQL and Data Modeling
Cloud Datastore employs GQL, a SQL-like language that excludes the Join operation. It encourages a paradigm shift in data modeling from relational databases, utilizing ReferenceProperty() for relationships and ensuring system resilience through a shared-nothing architecture.
