Why teams connect Firebase and YugabyteDB

Keep Firebase and YugabyteDB 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 YugabyteDB 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.
  • Run log-based CDC from YugabyteDB tables into a warehouse for analytics without batch dumps.
  • Two-way sync between YugabyteDB application tables and a CRM so product data and account records stay consistent.

Cross-engine sync

Keep the same dataset live in both Firebase and YugabyteDB, 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.

Shared reference data between services

Services that own separate databases stay consistent on the records they share, without a custom replication layer.

What you can sync between Firebase and YugabyteDB

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 YugabyteDB objects
Subcollections Nested collections under documents, typically flattened into related tables during sync. Tables Distributed SQL tables split into tablets; the primary read and write targets.
Realtime Database Nodes JSON tree paths in the older Realtime Database, synced by path. Indexes Global secondary indexes maintained transactionally alongside table writes.
Authentication Users User accounts read into CRMs and warehouses for customer records. Materialized Views Precomputed query results available in YSQL for read-side shaping.
Cloud Storage Objects Files referenced from documents; usually synced as metadata plus URLs. Schemas Postgres-style namespaces in YSQL used to organize synced data.
Cloud Functions Triggers Server-side hooks that fire on document changes and can push updates outward. Sequences ID generation objects relevant when syncing writes into YSQL tables.
Firestore Collections Top-level groupings of documents that a sync maps to tables or SaaS objects. CDC Streams Change streams over the storage-layer WAL consumed through logical replication or Debezium-compatible connectors.
