Firestore

Firestore Source

Firestore is a NoSQL document database built for automatic scaling, high performance, and ease of application development. While the Firestore interface has many of the same features as traditional databases, as a NoSQL database it differs from them in the way it describes relationships between data objects.

If you are new to Firestore, you can create a database and learn the basics.

Requirements

IAM Permissions

Firestore uses Identity and Access Management (IAM) to control user and group access to Firestore resources. Toolbox will use your Application Default Credentials (ADC) to authorize and authenticate when interacting with Firestore.

In addition to setting the ADC for your server, you need to ensure the IAM identity has been given the correct IAM permissions for accessing Firestore. Common roles include:

• roles/datastore.user - Read and write access to Firestore
• roles/datastore.viewer - Read-only access to Firestore

See Firestore access control for more information on applying IAM permissions and roles to an identity.

Database Selection

Firestore allows you to create multiple databases within a single project. Each database is isolated from the others and has its own set of documents and collections. If you don’t specify a database in your configuration, the default database named (default) will be used.

Example

sources:
  my-firestore-source:
    kind: "firestore"
    project: "my-project-id"
    # database: "my-database"  # Optional, defaults to "(default)"
