How do I model data in Firestore for my application?

Modeling data in Firestore involves structuring your data in collections and documents. What type of application are you building?

I'm building a social media app. How should I structure user profiles?

For user profiles, create a 'users' collection where each document represents a user. Include fields like name, email, and profile picture URL.

What about relationships between users, like followers?

You can create a 'followers' subcollection within each user document or maintain an array of follower IDs in the user document itself.

Are there any best practices for querying this data?

Yes, use indexed queries for efficient data retrieval and consider denormalizing data for faster access.
