Hi Marc,

programing language is Node js. And the file is very large mostly millions of records. I need to read them and store it into a db.

Do we have any best approach in this case like cloud functions or cloud Job or is there any other options available 

Also i could not find any example on this would you be able to suggest one.

thank you

Hi @lakshmisaru ,

It will solely depend on your use-case. I would suggest using Cloud Functions to be able to program what you need to do with the data and how you will insert it into Firestore. I'm not also sure what kind of "file" you are pertaining to. There could be more than one best approach for your use-case and as for the millions of records; I'm afraid that you can't store it directly to Firestore because Firestore does have limitations to its documents.
