The Firebase Real-time Database allows you to build rich, collaborative applications by allowing secure access to the database directly from client-side code. The Firebase Real-time Database is a NoSQL database from which we can store and sync the data between our users in real-time. Firebase Real-time Database is a solution that stores data in the cloud and offers an easy way to sync your data among various devices, and it is a cloud-hosted database. Data is stored as JSON and synchronized in real-time to every connected client.
Typesense is an open-source, typo-tolerant search engine optimized for an instant (typically sub-50ms) search-like-up-type experience and developer productivity. If you've heard of Elasticsearch or Algolia, a good way to think about Typesense is that it's an open source alternative to Algolia, with some key issues fixed and an easy-to-use battery-powered alternative to Elasticsearch.It works like a CDN, but for Search. Deploy nodes around the world, closest to your users, to provide them an ultra-fast search experience.
1. First, you need to create a Firebase project and obtain the necessary credentials. You can do this by going to the Firebase console and selecting your project. Then, navigate to the "Settings" tab and select "Service Accounts." From there, click on "Generate new private key" to download a JSON file containing your credentials.
2. In Airbyte, navigate to the "Sources" tab and select "Add Source." Choose "Firebase" from the list of available sources.
3. In the Firebase source configuration page, you will need to enter the following information: - Name: A unique name for your source - Firebase Project ID: The ID of your Firebase project - Firebase Credentials: Copy and paste the contents of the JSON file you downloaded earlier into this field
4. Once you have entered all the necessary information, click "Test Connection" to ensure that Airbyte can successfully connect to your Firebase source.
5. If the connection is successful, you can then configure the specific tables or collections you want to replicate in Airbyte. You can do this by selecting the "Schema" tab and choosing the tables or collections you want to replicate. 6. Finally, click "Create Source" to save your configuration and start replicating data from your Firebase source.
1. First, navigate to the Airbyte website and log in to your account.
2. Once you are logged in, click on the "Destinations" tab on the left-hand side of the screen.
3. Scroll down until you find the Typesense destination connector and click on it.
4. You will be prompted to enter your Typesense API key. Enter this information and click "Test Connection" to ensure that the connection is successful.
5. If the connection is successful, click "Save" to save your Typesense destination connector settings.
6. Next, navigate to the "Sources" tab on the left-hand side of the screen and select the source that you want to connect to your Typesense destination.
7. Follow the prompts to enter the necessary information for your source connector, such as the API key or database credentials.
8. Once you have entered all of the necessary information, click "Test Connection" to ensure that the connection is successful.
9. If the connection is successful, click "Save" to save your source connector settings.
10. Finally, click on the "Sync" tab on the left-hand side of the screen and select the source and destination connectors that you want to use for your data sync.
11. Follow the prompts to set up your data sync, such as selecting the tables or data types that you want to sync.
12. Once you have completed all of the necessary steps, click "Start Sync" to begin syncing your data between your source and Typesense destination connectors.
With Airbyte, creating data pipelines take minutes, and the data integration possibilities are endless. Airbyte supports the largest catalog of API tools, databases, and files, among other sources. Airbyte's connectors are open-source, so you can add any custom objects to the connector, or even build a new connector from scratch without any local dev environment or any data engineer within 10 minutes with the no-code connector builder.
We look forward to seeing you make use of it! We invite you to join the conversation on our community Slack Channel, or sign up for our newsletter. You should also check out other Airbyte tutorials, and Airbyte’s content hub!
