Although very cool I would’ve liked to see almost the opposite direction away from Firestore and closer to something like a graph would+DB with protobufs, that’s really well aligned with typescript and an ORM that handles migrations/scheme well.

A lot to ask for but where is that? Protobuf is a great great technology for data transmission, something google uses heavily especially for firestore but it would be great to bring more visibility into that versus hiding it away.
