# Firestore in Datastore mode documentation

[Read product documentation](https://docs.cloud.google.com/datastore/docs/concepts/overview) Firestore in Datastore mode is a NoSQL document database built for automatic scaling,
high performance, and ease of application development.

While the Datastore mode interface has many of the same features as
traditional databases, as a NoSQL database it differs from them in the way it
describes relationships between data objects.
