Firebase Realtime Database to Azure Synapse Integration
AI-first ETL from Firebase Realtime Database into Azure Synapse. Governed entities, incremental sync, typed landing tables.
How Datrise loads Firebase Realtime Database into Azure Synapse
Datrise syncs Firebase Realtime Database's nodes, child paths, JSON values, write events, references, and security rules into Azure Synapse as a typed table per source entity. Flexible or custom fields land in NVARCHAR(MAX) JSON columns, and timestamps such as created, updated, and status changes are typed as datetime2.
Sync is incremental: Datrise uses COPY into staging, then a MERGE on stable id, so re-runs update only what changed. Hash distribution on the join id with date partitioning on facts. Synapse dedicated pools reward good hash-distribution choices, so Datrise distributes on entity ids to avoid data-movement-heavy joins.
Ideal for Azure analytics estates feeding Power BI.
Endpoints

How Firebase Realtime Database entities map to Azure Synapse
| Firebase Realtime Database entity | Azure Synapse object | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| nodes | firebase_realtime_database_nodes | id PK · custom fields → NVARCHAR(MAX) JSON columns |
| 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 | datetime2 events |
FAQ
How does Datrise handle Firebase Realtime Database's custom fields in Azure Synapse?
Flexible values are stored as NVARCHAR(MAX) JSON columns, so new fields don't require a migration; strongly-typed fields — dates, numbers, and references — are promoted to native Azure Synapse types.
How does the Firebase Realtime Database to Azure Synapse sync stay up to date?
It runs incrementally — Datrise uses COPY into staging, then a MERGE on stable id.
