    This is because Real-Time Database is just the original Firebase, before Google bought it in 2014. They then decided to build a copy of Firebase on their big data whatsit, as a parallel offering, and named it Firestore with a cloud. Hope you're still following. If not, no worries, I have tried to rewrite this part a dozen times already.
