How Zapier works

Zapier makes it easy to integrate Amazon EC2 with Firebase / Firestore - no code necessary. See how you can get setup in minutes.

Select a trigger from Amazon EC2

A trigger is an event that starts your Zap and runs the workflow. For example, with Amazon EC2, a trigger could be "New Instance."

A trigger is the event that kicks off your automated workflow.

Setup an action from Firebase / Firestore

An action is what takes place after the automation is triggered. For example, with Firebase / Firestore, the action could be "Create or Replace Firebase Realtime Database Record."

An action is the event that your automated workflow performs when triggered.

That’s it! You just connected Amazon EC2 to Firebase / Firestore

Frequently Asked Questions about Amazon EC2 + Firebase / Firestore integrations

New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with Amazon EC2 and Firebase / Firestore

How can I trigger a Firebase function from an EC2 instance?

To trigger a Firebase function from an EC2 instance, you can use HTTP requests. Deploy your Firebase functions on HTTPS endpoints which your EC2 application can call using POST or GET methods to initiate any background processes or real-time updates.

Is it possible to write data to Firestore from an Amazon EC2 instance?

Yes, it's possible. You can authenticate your EC2 application using Firebase Admin SDK, which allows you to securely interact with Firestore and perform create, read, update, and delete operations directly from the server environment.

What permissions are necessary for an EC2 instance to access Firebase services?

Your EC2 instance needs appropriate roles and permissions set via Google Cloud IAM (Identity Access Management). Specifically, you should generate a service account in Google Cloud and assign roles such as 'Firestore Editor' to allow for data manipulation in Firestore.

How do we ensure secure communication between Amazon EC2 and Firebase?

Secure communication between Amazon EC2 and Firebase can be achieved by using HTTPS endpoints for any API calls. Additionally, utilizing authentication tokens provided by Firebase ensures that only authorized instances have access to your database or functions.

Can we execute scheduled tasks on Firestore changes from our EC2 instances?

While Firestore itself doesn't support cron jobs natively, you can set up cron jobs in your Amazon EC2 instances that periodically check for conditions or changes in Firestore data and execute tasks accordingly. Alternatively, consider leveraging Cloud Functions for event-driven execution directly tied to Firestore changes.

Are there any bandwidth concerns when integrating EC2 with Firebase/Firestore?

There might be bandwidth considerations depending on the volume of data you're transmitting between the two services. Ensure that your network setup supports the anticipated traffic load; use appropriate compression techniques when sending large amounts of data from Amazon EC2 to limit bandwidth usage effectively.

What are some common use cases for integrating Amazon EC2 with Firestore?

Common use cases include real-time processing of user-generated content where changes need immediate reflection in a companion app using Firestore as a backend. Another scenario is performing intensive computations within AWS environments while keeping user-facing operations streamlined within Firebase.
