  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.
