Cloud Firestore + GitHub Integrations

Cloud Firestore

Cloud Firestore is a database provided by Google. It is a NoSQL database with a hierarchical document-based structure that supports offline applications. All data in the database is stored as JSON objects, and documents are stored in cplections.

Cloud Firestore is a real-time database that allows users to query their data instantly. It can store and serve billions of records on a single instance and can process more than 100,000 writes per second.

GitHub

GitHub is a platform for developers to host their code and projects. It provides a repository for hosting the code. Users can create repositories to share their code and cplaborate with others on their projects. Users can also use the code from other repositories in their projects. Developers can fplow updates of the repositories they’re interested in, which helps them stay aware of updates to their code. GitHub also provides social networking features, allowing users to connect with developers who have similar interests.

Integration of Cloud Firestore and GitHub

Benefits of Integrating Cloud Firestore and GitHub:

• A user can get project information from GitHub in real time using Firebase SDKs. The user can obtain the information without retrieving the information from GitHub directly. This helps save bandwidth and reduce the amount of network traffic.
• A user can set up database rules using Cloud Firestore Rules Engine to configure notifications when new commits are made on specific branches in the repository. This helps keep track of all changes made to the codebase, no matter how small. The user does not need to rely on an external service, such as an email service, to notify them about small changes made to the codebase.
• If an application needs to make a request for data from GitHub but does not have access to the Internet, it can use Cloud Firestore in a hybrid offline mode. It does not need to worry about how to restore its state when there is no Internet connection. Cloud Firestore synchronizes the data from the backend server when the Internet connection is available so that the application can be restored seamlessly.

Benefits of Integration of Cloud Firestore and GitHub

• A user can write data directly into Cloud Firestore using the Cloud Firestore client library or using client libraries written in other languages such as Java, Swift, Objective-C, C#, Node.js or Go. When writing data directly into Cloud Firestore using these libraries, users do not need to make an additional call to GitHub servers to update the data or make an additional call to receive the data from GitHub servers after it has been updated. The library detects whether the data has been updated by checking the last modified time of the record. If there is no update, then no additional calls are made to GitHub servers; otherwise, a call is made to GitHub servers to update the record. This helps save bandwidth and reduce the amount of network traffic as well as avoids unnecessary calls to GitHub servers. Also, users do not need to worry about what happens if there is no Internet connection when updating records or receiving records from GitHub servers; they do not need to worry about losing their data or making any extra calls that may cost them money because they do not have an internet connection.
• A user can update data in Cloud Firestore using Cloud Functions for Firebase when they have an internet connection, but will be able to retrieve updated data from Cloud Firestore even when they don’t have an internet connection. If a user creates a function for updating records in Cloud Firestore, then those records will automatically be updated when new commits are made in GitHub and synchronized with Cloud Firestore when the user has an internet connection (such as when deploying a new version of their app. When users make requests for those records when they don’t have an internet connection, they will get the most recent version from Cloud Firestore instead of getting outdated data from GitHub that was synced before the update occurred. This helps ensure that users always get up-to-date information without having any adverse effects on performance or bandwidth usage due to multiple calls being made while they don’t have an internet connection.
