An implementation of the exact same app in Firestore, AWS Datastore
In this project I have implemented the exact same chat application with different database technologies. You can use it to compare metrics and learn about the differences. The chat app is a web-based angular application, with functionality similar to Whatsapp Web. All metrics are measured automatically via code in a browser test (chrome:headless). The results heavily depend on the developer's device.
