If you’re also going to be managing the infrastructure supporting MongoDB, then yeah, that makes sense.
Like I said, choosing your DB entirely depends on your technical requirements. I build a lot of smaller, single-purpose web apps, and I’d rather not have to manage any more infrastructure than necessary, so Firestore suits my needs. Of course, that’s not going to be true for everyone.
Hope the comment threads on your post have helped you to pick your DB! ☺️
I’d highly recommend looking at Cloud Firestore — it’s scalable, accessible via REST API and has generous amounts of usage on their free Spark plans.
That said, apps and databases are “horses for courses”. It all really depends on your requirements and your tech stack/platform.
Not so generous, IMO.
Anyone really practically use Firestore?

If I had to choose between firestore and mongodb I'd go with mongo db :P
IE. Mongo is needed in the MERN stack
Absolutely

I agree. Yes, I did figure out what DB to use. I'm going to use mongdb :D
