Hmmm this issue does not seem to follow the issue template. Make sure you provide all the required information.

Hey there! I couldn't figure out what this issue is about, so I've labeled it for a human to triage. Hang tight.

If you're using the App Engine Flexible environment, one of the workaround mentioned in googleapis/google-cloud-python#5023 should work for you. I have noticed that simply reinstalling google-cloud-firestore directly, also fixes the issue most of the time.

If you're using the App Engine Standard environment, Firestore Python client is not supported there.

Will there be support added for App Engine Standard environment?

@joelfernandes19 that's a question for the Firestore team. Check with https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/google-cloud-python
