- New features include unnesting arrays, aggregating data, and sorting results within queries.
- Enterprise edition supports sparse, non-sparse, and unique indexes for better query performance.
- Developers can migrate from Standard to Enterprise edition using Firestore's import/export service.
- Enterprise edition is available for all developers with a free tier, similar to Standard edition.
- Standard edition remains supported, but Pipeline operations are exclusive to Enterprise edition.
