While I completely empathize with you, that can be tricky in a fully distributed document store and to be fair, counting records in dynamodb is also a PITA.
Have you checked out using distributed counters to track the record count yourself? Read through the answers on this SO post. That might help.
Fair point. Yea, this is the approach I ultimately settled on, but it surprised me to find out that such a simple operation as "count" isn't supported by firebase.
