Thank you for the kind words!
> When a schema is provided, is it fully enforced?
Right now the schema understands the difference between attributes and references. If you specify uniqueness constraints, they are also enforced. We haven’t supported string / number yet, but are actively working towards it. Once that’s supported, we can unlock sort by queries as well!
> Migrations though... hope you focus on it early if you haven't yet!
We don’t have first class support for migrations yet, but are definitely thinking about it. Currently folks use the admin SDK to write migration scripts.
Question: do you have any favorite systems for migrations?
Nice!
Re: favorite systems for migrations — not really; I've always just kind of not used one, or rolled my own. Desiderata:
* fully atomic (all goes through or none goes through)
* low-boilerplate
* can include execution of arbitrary application code — data-query-only only migrations feel kind of limiting.
* painless to use with multiple developers multiple of which might be writing migrations
That's a great list, thank you! We are thinking along similar lines; looking forward to when we can design this portion. If you have other feedback, please let us know.
