      <description>&lt;img src="https://res.infoq.com/news/2026/02/firestore-enterprise-pipeline/en/headerimage/generatedHeaderImage-1770410936080.jpg"/&gt;&lt;p&gt;Google has overhauled Firestore’s query engine, introducing "Pipeline operations" that enable complex server-side aggregations and array unnesting. The update shifts Firestore Enterprise toward an optional indexing model, allowing architects to prioritize write speed and lower costs. While it brings parity with MongoDB-style aggregations, the preview currently lacks real-time and emulator support.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;i&gt;By Steef-Jan Wiggers&lt;/i&gt;</description>
