Begin by identifying the specific data objects and fields in Salesforce you want to export. Use Salesforce's built-in data export tools, such as Data Export Wizard or Data Loader, to extract data. Export the data in a CSV format, as this is widely compatible and easy to manipulate.
If you haven't already, create a Google Cloud Platform account. Enable billing to access all necessary services, including Firestore. Once your account is set up, create a new Firestore database in Native mode, which is suitable for most applications that require real-time updates.
In the GCP Console, navigate to Google Cloud Storage and create a new bucket. This bucket will temporarily store your Salesforce data files before they are imported into Firestore. Ensure the bucket is in the same region as your Firestore instance to optimize performance.
Using the Google Cloud Console or the `gsutil` command-line tool, upload your exported CSV files from Salesforce to the newly created Cloud Storage bucket. This step makes your data accessible for processing within the GCP ecosystem.
Write a script in Python or Node.js to read the CSV files from Cloud Storage, process the data, and transform it into JSON format, which is compatible with Firestore. This script should include parsing the CSV data, mapping to Firestore document fields, and handling any necessary data transformations.
Use Google Cloud's Identity and Access Management (IAM) to create a service account with the necessary permissions to access Firestore. Download the service account key in JSON format. Your script will use this key to authenticate and interact with Firestore securely.
Integrate Firestore's client library in your script to write data to Firestore. Loop through the transformed JSON data, and use Firestore API methods to create or update documents in your Firestore database. Ensure that your script handles errors and logs activity to troubleshoot any issues during the import process.
By following these steps, you can move data from Salesforce to Google Firestore without relying on third-party connectors or integrations.
FAQs
What is ETL?
ETL, an acronym for Extract, Transform, Load, is a vital data integration process. It involves extracting data from diverse sources, transforming it into a usable format, and loading it into a database, data warehouse or data lake. This process enables meaningful data analysis, enhancing business intelligence.

What is ELT?
ELT, standing for Extract, Load, Transform, is a modern take on the traditional ETL data integration process. In ELT, data is first extracted from various sources, loaded directly into a data warehouse, and then transformed. This approach enhances data processing speed, analytical flexibility and autonomy.
Difference between ETL and ELT?
ETL and ELT are critical data integration strategies with key differences. ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) transforms data before loading, ideal for structured data. In contrast, ELT (Extract, Load, Transform) loads data before transformation, perfect for processing large, diverse data sets in modern data warehouses. ELT is becoming the new standard as it offers a lot more flexibility and autonomy to data analysts.
