Special features

Let's discuss the features that Cloud Datastore has to offer. Cloud Datastore is a highly scalable NoSQL database with high availability and durability. It is also fully managed, which means it automatically handles sharding and replication.

The power of ACID transactions also plays a role when using Cloud Datastore. It provides capabilities as ACID transactions, SQL-like queries, and indexes, at the same time being a schemaless database. We can access Cloud Datastore via JSON API, open source clients, or community-maintained ORMs (Objectify or NDB).

Encryption at rest, atomic transactions, and a balance of strong and eventual consistency are a few other features of GCP.
