For a subscription based Chrome extension (https://www.checkbot.io/), I use Firestore, Firebase and Cloud Functions to handle subscription activation and login/authentication. I use Paddle for payments which fires a web hook to a Cloud Function when a purchase is made.

Works great so far for no cost and it hasn't required a single bug fix or any maintenance since launch. Firestore definitely has a lot of surprising caveats though and you need to design your app and data around this to avoid trouble later.

Does anyone have any stories to share about when they outgrew Firestore, what they migrated to and how? I wouldn't be keen to use NoSQL if my data became more complex.
