A Database whose Irreversible Choices Are Made Deliberately

Type, location and CMEK cannot be changed after creation - getting one wrong means exporting every document into a new database and repointing every client. delete_protection defaults OFF, and Firestore has no snapshots: point-in-time recovery is the only way back and only covers incidents after it was enabled.

Provider drift

This artifact declares no Terraform provider requirements, so there is nothing to drift. Provider freshness applies to Terraform and OpenTofu modules.

What depends on this

No reference architecture names this module, so changing it affects only configurations that reference it directly.
