Firebase - Sigma.

Jourier's Data Hub sits between Firebase and Sigma. Firebase data flows into the layer continuously (real-time CDC where supported, webhooks and polling otherwise), gets modeled to your business, and surfaces in Sigma as a clean dataset your team can build operational reporting, KPI dashboards, and data-quality monitoring on top of.
For teams that want more than a packaged BI experience, the same Data Hub feeds a bespoke data application coded in React and TypeScript, owned by your team. Sigma runs alongside the bespoke application or in front of it, depending on what each part of the business needs.
Firebase is a backend store, not an analytics surface — so the question is shape, not transport. Jourier's modeling layer translates operational schemas into analytical entities (customers, transactions, periods) without disturbing the source application's contract with the database.
Sigma's per-element queries make pricing predictable as the audience grows, but performance still depends on the underlying Firebase model. Jourier tunes the warehouse layer (clustering, materialized views, partition pruning) so Sigma's element-level fetch patterns stay fast even when dashboards have hundreds of elements.
Result: Sigma reports on Firebase read from a layer engineered for operational reporting, with definitions consistent across reports and across the rest of the operational stack.
Sigma is a strong choice for teams that want a packaged dashboard experience on top of Firebase. For workflows Sigma doesn't cover (custom UI, write-back to Firebase, role-specific tools), Jourier builds a bespoke React application on the same Data Hub. Both can live alongside each other.
Yes. Jourier builds a bespoke Firebase → Sigma integration through the Data Hub layer. Firebase data is modeled, kept current, and exposed to Sigma as a clean dataset your team can build operational reporting on top of. The same modeled tables can feed coded React applications and AI assistants alongside Sigma, so the numbers stay consistent regardless of which surface a stakeholder uses. No connector licence fees if you self-host the data layer.
Where Firebase supports change-data-capture, yes — updates surface in Sigma within seconds. Where it doesn't, scheduled polling and webhooks keep the layer current at the cadence the business actually needs (5 minutes for operational dashboards, hourly for finance, daily for archival). Time to first sync is typically instant to one day. The Data Hub holds the canonical state, so reports and dashboards never read directly from Firebase's API.
Bespoke project, scoped to the Firebase workflows that matter and the Sigma reports your team actually uses. Pricing is project-based, not subscription-based — a fixed-fee build for the data layer + the Sigma dataset, then optional managed-services if you want Jourier to run it. No per-seat licences from Jourier, no platform fees if you self-host. Sigma licences are paid directly to Sigma Computing; we never mark them up.
You do. Pipelines, data model, semantic layer config, Sigma dataset definitions, documentation: all yours. Self-host or have us host. Hand it to another vendor whenever you want, or take it over with your own team. Jourier delivers everything as code in a repository you own, with runbooks for how to operate it. No lock-in, no per-engagement licence.
Yes. The Data Hub feeds Sigma today, and the same layer feeds open-source dashboards (Apache Superset, Metabase, Grafana), a bespoke React application, or a different vendor BI tool tomorrow. The Firebase side of the integration — the pipeline, the modeling, the access controls — is unchanged when you switch front-ends. Most of our customers keep multiple consumers running in parallel during a transition window.
First sync of Firebase data is typically instant to one day. A scoped engagement covering Firebase plus the Sigma reports that matter usually runs four to eight weeks. Bigger transformations are split into phases, each shipping value before the next begins. Jourier handles the Firebase pipeline, the modeling, the Sigma dataset, and the access controls. Your team validates the reports and trains the analysts.
Usually yes. Most existing Sigma reports become thin wrappers over the new modeled tables — the report logic stays, the data source switches from a direct Firebase connector to the Data Hub. Jourier audits the existing Sigma workspace, identifies what's worth keeping, and rebuilds report-by-report against the new model. Reports that were workarounds for Firebase's data shape get simplified or retired.
Permissions live in the Data Hub, not in Sigma. Each Sigma user authenticates against your identity provider; the dataset that Sigma reads is filtered server-side based on the user's role, region, or department. Sigma's own row-level security still works on top of this. Result: a sales rep in Helsinki and one in New York hitting the same Sigma dashboard see different rows automatically, with the rule defined once in the layer.
