Firebase: Migration

Your data and users can change platforms. The risky part is the switch, so we test it first.

Moving Without Losing Users

You’ve outgrown your current backend, or Firebase no longer fits what you’re building. Either way, your data, your user accounts and your app all have to change together.

We manage the whole move, in either direction. We transform the data, design the new schema, update your application code and migrate user sign-in, keeping disruption to a minimum.

What We Move

Data migration with validation and integrity checks

User accounts moved between platforms

App code reworked for the new platform

Parallel testing before cutover

How the Migration Runs

1

Map the Data

We design the target schema and work out how each record changes on the way across.

2

Move User Accounts

We export users and profiles, import password hashes where platforms allow it, and handle communication for any resets.

3

Update the App

We rewrite the parts of your application code that depend on the old platform’s APIs.

4

Run in Parallel

We test both systems side by side, shift traffic gradually, and follow a verified cutover procedure.

Why Choose System Strats

We’ve built Firebase solutions for applications of various scales. We know how the platform stores data and handles users, and a safe move depends on that knowledge.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. This is a common migration path. We design the PostgreSQL schema, move and transform Firestore data, migrate user accounts, and update your app code to use Supabase’s APIs.

Yes. We design the Firestore schema, build data migration scripts, set up authentication, and update your app to use Firebase’s real-time features.

We export user records, including email and profile data. Passwords depend on how the source platform hashes them. Some platforms allow hash import, and others require password resets. We handle the user communication for either path.

Little or none. We plan migrations with minimal or zero downtime using parallel running, gradual traffic shifting and verified cutover procedures.
