Flatly uploads your Firestore data to Google BigQuery automatically and refreshes it based on your sync frequency.

FAQ: Firestore

Is this project metadata or database data?

Flatly syncs Firestore Database data, namely the contents of Documents in specific Collections. It does not sync Project Data like Crashlytics or A/B Testing. Behind the scenes the service first converts Firestore Documents to JSON and then efficiently flattens that JSON into flat files for spreadsheets or storage, or newline JSON for BigQuery.‍

What if my collection is large?

If you expect your Firestore Collection to contain more than 10 million cells worth of data, do not attempt to sync Firestore to Google Sheets, as Google Sheets is limited to 10 million cells. Instead, use any cloud storage or BigQuery.

FAQ: Google BigQuery

How does schema setup work?

Flatly leverages intelligent schema generation that adapts to BigQuery's auto-detection protocols, handling data type inference and column ordering automatically so you never have to manually map fields.‍

What about data sanitization?

Data hygiene is built directly into the ingestion process. Before a single row is written to BigQuery, Flatly validates your data against a generated reference schema. It proactively detects and strips out "schema violators" —inconsistent data types or malformed records that would typically cause a load job to crash. Flatly logs these exclusions in a detailed metadata file, ensuring your pipeline remains resilient and continuous while giving you full transparency into data quality issues.‍

How performant and scalable is this integration?

This integration is designed for scale and flexibility, the engine processes data in memory-optimized chunks to handle massive datasets efficiently. It offers powerful pre-load controls, allowing you to filter rows based on custom logic (e.g., date ranges, specific values) and allowlist specific keys. This ensures that you only sync high-value data, optimizing your BigQuery storage costs and query performance.

How does authorization work?

Everything is secured via Service Account authentication, providing a stable, production-grade connection for your most critical analytics dashboards.

What is special about this integration?

Price-to-performance is impressive. Data can be synced to BigQuery every 6 hours for just $19 a month.
