Firebase Realtime Database to Looker Integration
AI-first ETL from Firebase Realtime Database into Looker. Governed entities, incremental sync, typed landing tables.
How Datrise loads Firebase Realtime Database into Looker
Datrise syncs Firebase Realtime Database's nodes, child paths, JSON values, write events, references, and security rules into Looker as governed warehouse tables with LookML-ready naming. Flexible or custom fields land in flattened columns (nested fields expanded for modeling), and timestamps such as created, updated, and status changes are typed as date/time dimension columns.
Sync is incremental: Datrise uses incremental refresh of the underlying warehouse tables Looker explores, so re-runs update only what changed. Date-partitioned fact tables for PDT performance. Looker models live in LookML on top of SQL, so Datrise lands clean, stable column names rather than churn that would break your views.
Ideal for governed, version-controlled BI on a warehouse.

How Firebase Realtime Database entities map to Looker
| Firebase Realtime Database entity | Looker object | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| nodes | firebase_realtime_database_nodes | id PK · custom fields → flattened columns (nested fields expanded for modeling) |
| child paths | firebase_realtime_database_child_paths | id PK · linked to firebase_realtime_database_nodes |
| JSON values | firebase_realtime_database_json_values | id PK · linked to firebase_realtime_database_nodes |
| write events | firebase_realtime_database_write_events | date/time dimension columns events |
FAQ
How does Datrise handle Firebase Realtime Database's custom fields in Looker?
Flexible values are stored as flattened columns (nested fields expanded for modeling), so new fields don't require a migration; strongly-typed fields — dates, numbers, and references — are promoted to native Looker types.
How does the Firebase Realtime Database to Looker sync stay up to date?
It runs incrementally — Datrise uses incremental refresh of the underlying warehouse tables Looker explores.
