Why teams connect Firebase and Newrelic

Keep Firebase and Newrelic in step: the rows in your database and the Alert Policies & Conditions, NRQL Query Results, Entities, Workloads your engineering tools track stay consistent in real time, in both directions.

Firebase is where your application's durable data lives; Newrelic is where engineering and operations teams track the issues, events, messages, or identities that run alongside it. The two overlap constantly, a row should open a ticket, an alert should land as a record, a user in one should exist in the other, but bridging them today means per-tool integration code: auth, webhooks, pagination, rate limits, and retries, built and maintained separately for every tool.

Stacksync syncs Firestore Documents, Subcollections, Realtime Database Nodes, Authentication Users in Firebase with Alert Policies & Conditions, NRQL Query Results, Entities, Workloads in Newrelic field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields; Stacksync keeps every copy consistent and resolves conflicts by rules you set, so the database and the tooling around it never drift apart.

Common use cases

  • 01 Sync Firestore user and account documents into a CRM so go-to-market teams see live product data.
  • 02 Mirror Firestore collections into Postgres or a warehouse to run SQL analytics on app data.
  • 03 Provision and update Dashboards and Alert Policies from a config repository or database through NerdGraph so definitions stay versioned and consistent across accounts and environments.
  • 04 Push custom business or pipeline Events and Metrics into New Relic through the Event and Metric APIs so they appear alongside APM data in dashboards and NRQL.

Common sync patterns

React to changes on either side in near real time

Updates in Newrelic arrive as row changes in Firebase, and writes to Firebase propagate to Newrelic within seconds, so triggers, jobs, and alerts fire without polling.

Where Newrelic manages users or groups: keep identity aligned

Directory and identity records in Newrelic stay matched to the users or owners table in Firebase, so provisioning and de-provisioning flow from one source.

Turn rows into the records your tools track

A new or changed row in Firebase creates or updates the matching record in Newrelic, whether that is an issue, an event, a message, or a user, so the tool reflects the database without a custom API job.

What you can sync between Firebase and Newrelic

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

Firebase objects Newrelic objects How this pairing syncs
Cloud Functions Triggers Server-side hooks that fire on document changes and can push updates outward. Alert Policies & Conditions Alert policies and NRQL alert conditions managed through NerdGraph alertsPolicy and alertsNrqlCondition mutations with full create, update, and delete; read out for audit or provisioned from a config source so alerting stays consistent across accounts. Cloud Functions Triggers is specific to Firebase and Alert Policies & Conditions to Newrelic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Firestore Collections Top-level groupings of documents that a sync maps to tables or SaaS objects. NRQL Query Results Telemetry events, metrics, logs, and spans queried through NerdGraph's nrql field (or the legacy Insights query API) over time windows; read-only and bounded by data retention, commonly streamed into a warehouse for long-term analysis. Firestore Collections is specific to Firebase and NRQL Query Results to Newrelic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Firestore Documents Schemaless JSON-like records, the primary unit synced to and from external systems. Entities The entity catalog of APM applications, hosts, services, and monitors searched via NerdGraph entitySearch; read for inventory, with tags added or replaced through taggingAddTagsToEntity so ownership and environment metadata stay in sync. Firestore Documents is specific to Firebase and Entities to Newrelic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Subcollections Nested collections under documents, typically flattened into related tables during sync. Workloads Workload groupings of related entities via NerdGraph workloadCreate/workloadUpdate/workloadDelete with full CRUD; read for status rollups or provisioned from a service catalog to keep team-level views current. Subcollections is specific to Firebase and Workloads to Newrelic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Realtime Database Nodes JSON tree paths in the older Realtime Database, synced by path. Synthetics Monitors Synthetic uptime and scripted browser checks managed through NerdGraph synthetics mutations (create, update, delete); monitor results are read via NRQL for availability and latency reporting. Realtime Database Nodes is specific to Firebase and Synthetics Monitors to Newrelic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Authentication Users User accounts read into CRMs and warehouses for customer records. Custom Events Custom events posted write-only to the Event API on insights-collector with a License/Ingest key; business or pipeline events pushed into New Relic to enrich dashboards, then queried back out with NRQL. Authentication Users is specific to Firebase and Custom Events to Newrelic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Firebase and Newrelic

Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.

Firebase Newrelic Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Firebase for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Real-time snapshot listeners on Firestore queries and Cloud Functions triggers on document changes.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Newrelic through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Newrelic Firebase Sub-second propagation

DetectionNewrelic notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. NRQL polling over timestamp windows for telemetry (events, metrics, logs, spans).

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Firebase through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Firebase: Subject to Firestore's documented operation quotas and per-document write throughput limits.
  • Newrelic: NerdGraph allows 25 concurrent requests per user and returns HTTP 429 when exceeded; NRQL run via APIs is capped at 3,000 queries per account per minute with a 5-second default timeout and about 5,000 data points per response. The Event API accepts 1MB per POST and 100,000 POSTs per minute per account.

How the Firebase and Newrelic connectors work

Firebase

REST and gRPC APIs, typically accessed through the Firebase Admin SDK
Authentication
Google service account credentials (IAM) for server-side access; Firebase Auth tokens for client contexts

Newrelic

Integration surface
NerdGraph (GraphQL) plus REST data-ingest APIs (Event, Metric, Log, Trace) and the legacy REST API v2
Authentication
User API key (prefixed NRAK-) sent in the API-Key header for NerdGraph queries and mutations; the data-ingest APIs (Event, Metric, Log) use a License/Ingest key in the Api-Key header. Keys, endpoints, and data are region-scoped (US, EU, JP).
Change detection
NRQL polling over timestamp windows for telemetry (events, metrics, logs, spans); config objects such as dashboards, alert policies, and workloads carry no modified-date and are diffed on each run. Alert workflows can push outbound webhook notifications for near-real-time alerting. No CDC feed.
