Google Cloud has announced enhancements to Firestore, a fully managed document database, to support emerging agentic applications. The updates include tighter integrations with AI Studio and third-party coding agents, full-text search and expressive queries, and enhanced MongoDB compatibility. This will enable developers to build applications faster and more efficiently, while maintaining enterprise governance and security.
