B. Firestore is a NoSQL database. Eliminate A. You could migrate to Spanner leveraging the PostgreSQL dialect, but costs need to be minimized so that wouldn’t be the cheapest option. Especially since the load doesn’t justify Spanner. Again, you could migrate like-for-like to a GCE VM, but that defeats minimizing the migration effort. The cheapest and easiest way to migrate would be Database Migration Service to Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL.
