Determine current Firestore mode

We are setting up a new project/environment in Google Cloud for our application. The applications uses Firestore which is being setup in the new project.

How do you determine which Firestore mode the current Firstore is running in?

When you navigate to Firestore in a new project you are presented with an option, select Firestore mode, Native Mode or Datastore Mode. The goal is to ensure the new environment being setup is the same as the current one.

Solution

  • Firestore Datastore

    When you check the Firestore in the Google Cloud Console Navigation menu, you will see Firestore for Native Mode (Firestore API), and Datastore for Datastore Mode (Datastore API).
