Firebase announces Cloud Firestore support for atomically incrementing or decrementing numeric values directly in the database. The feature simplifies concurrent updates and can work when users are offline, while transactions remain necessary for operations requiring additional logic and documents retain a sustained write limit of 1 QPS.
