Why teams connect Firebase and Neo4j

Keep Firebase and Neo4j synchronized in real time, across engines, regions, or services, in one or both directions.

Two databases that must agree is one of the oldest problems in engineering: different engines for different workloads, separate services with overlapping reference data, a migration in flight, or regional instances that share a subset of records. Hand-rolled replication across systems means change capture, conflict handling, and type mapping, all built and maintained by your team.

Stacksync syncs tables or collections between Firebase and Neo4j continuously and bi-directionally, translating types between the two engines and resolving conflicts by rules you configure. Rows written on either side appear on the other within seconds.

Common use cases

  • Combine Firebase Authentication users with billing and CRM records into one customer table.
  • Replace one-off Cloud Functions export code with managed, continuous sync.
  • Sync product catalog and order history into Neo4j to power recommendation queries.
  • Feed identity and access data into a graph for entitlement and blast-radius analysis.

Regional or environment copies

Mirror selected tables to another region or environment continuously, filtered to just the rows that should travel.

Cross-engine sync

Keep the same dataset live in both Firebase and Neo4j, so each workload runs on the engine that suits it.

Migration with zero-downtime cutover

When one database is replacing the other, sync both directions during the transition and switch traffic when ready, without a freeze window.

What you can sync between Firebase and Neo4j

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

Firebase objects Neo4j objects
Firestore Documents Schemaless JSON-like records, the primary unit synced to and from external systems. Nodes Entity records (customers, products, accounts) written from source systems as labeled nodes.
Subcollections Nested collections under documents, typically flattened into related tables during sync. Relationships Typed, directed edges that carry the connections syncs exist to model.
Realtime Database Nodes JSON tree paths in the older Realtime Database, synced by path. Properties Key-value attributes on both nodes and relationships, mapped from source fields.
Authentication Users User accounts read into CRMs and warehouses for customer records. Labels Node type markers used to map source tables or objects onto the graph.
Cloud Storage Objects Files referenced from documents; usually synced as metadata plus URLs. Indexes & Constraints Uniqueness constraints and indexes that make MERGE-based upserts reliable and fast.
Cloud Functions Triggers Server-side hooks that fire on document changes and can push updates outward. Databases Named databases in a single instance that scope multi-tenant or multi-domain syncs.
What ships with Firebase ⇄ Neo4j

Connect Firebase and Neo4j for flexible, real-time data sync.

At scale

Event queues

Handle millions of events per minute without losing a single Firebase or Neo4j record.

Observability

Monitoring

Track your Firebase ⇄ Neo4j sync health, view errors, and replay failed events in one click.

Trading partners

EDI

Transform legacy EDI complexity into simple database interactions between Firebase and Neo4j.

How the Firebase and Neo4j connectors work

Firebase

How it works

How to connect Firebase to Neo4j — three steps, no code

Configure and sync within minutes, no code. Whether you sync 50k or 100M+ records, Stacksync handles the queues, infra, and plumbing. Integrations are non-invasive and need zero setup on your systems.

  1. 01

    Connect your apps

    Authenticate Firebase and Neo4j with each platform's native method — OAuth, API keys, or service accounts — plus secure options like SSH tunneling, IP whitelisting, and VPC peering.
