Summary
In this chapter, we have reviewed the fundamental concepts of Cloud SQL and Firestore and the most important differences to consider when thinking about using them in our applications. We have looked at how to create a Cloud SQL instance with both MySQL and Firestore and explored both consoles within Google Cloud. Finally, we examined how to integrate with Firestore and how to create, read, update, and delete information from our applications. In the next chapter, we will review in detail which type of database to use depending on the different scenarios we may face, define strategies to implement different data schemas, and learn about best practices in the area of data management and databases.
