I am currently using Firebase Realtime database. I have imported JSONs into Realtime database but due to limitation of query i need to switch on Firebase Firestore.
I want to import JSONs into Cloud Firestore of Firebase.
There is no automatic conversion from Firebase's Realtime Database to Cloud Firestore. While both are NoSQL databases and part of Firebase, their data models are different, and they are not compatible in any way.
You will have to figure out how you want to map your JSON data from Realtime Database, to the collection/document model of Cloud Firestore, and then write code against the APIs of the databases to port the data over.

I am pushing data to Firebase via Zapier and it lands in the Realtime Database. However, I am using Cloud Firestore. I've looked through a lot of documentation for both services but neither seems to have answers.. (there is information on migrating but I would like to keep both DBs).
How would I push each new or updated data entry from Realtime Database to Cloud Firestore?
There is nothing built into Firebase to automatically do this.
The fastest I can think of is to build a Cloud Function that listens for the Realtime Database writes, and then also sends them to Firestore.
Alternatively, doesn't Zapier allow you to have two zaps, one that writes to each database?
Like Firebase Firestore in Firebase console, the same data is present in Firestore in Google Cloud Platform, similarly where is Firebase Realtime Database (json file) found in Google Cloud Platform
The Firebase Realtime Database is only available in the Firebase console. It does not exist in the Google Cloud console.
I´m searching the best way to migrate Firebase Realtime Database Data to Cloud Firestore for a json database with many nested rows. Example:
I found nothing that could help me. For what I need the migration is the new offline functionality of the Cloud Firestore. I´m using Ionic3 (Angular5)
Actually there's no standard way to migrate from Firebase Realtime Database to Cloud Firestore, because every application or project has is unique. You have to implement your own way of migrating to Cloud Firestore. But I suggest you read the next tutorials that will help you find the best way for you to migrate:
Cloud Firestore Data Model.
Firestore Data Structure.
Important note: By the way Firebase Realtime Database supports offilne persistence: Enabling Offline Capabilities Realtime Database.
I am using Firebase Firestore and want to get a rough idea of the the server time. Similar to how the Realtime Database had .info/serverTimeOffset. I could create a realtime database just to use the .info/serverTimeOffset endpoint but is there any better way using just Firestore?
There is no equivalent of .info/serverTimeOffset in Cloud Firestore at the moment. That's one of the reasons we recommend using the Firebase Realtime Database for a presence system, even when you use Cloud Firestore for other data storage needs.
I have an application where thousands of small files are stored in Google Cloud Storage, and I have a million small records of metadata in Firebase Realtime Database.
When I switch database to Cloud Firestore beta in the Firebase Console, it warns me that the Cloud Storage will be disabled:
"Enabling Cloud Firestore Beta will preclude you from using Cloud Datastore with this project, notably from the associated App Engine app."
So I would have to move the files to Cloud Firestore? I don't see any examples from Google on storing files in Cloud Firestore? Should they then be stored as Base64 string or what?
Cloud Storage != Cloud Datastore
Cloud Datastore is a NoSQL database that has been around for quite a while and is very similar to Firestore in many regards. The reason for them not being available in parallel might be that they are actually using the same backend in some way.
Cloud Storage is for storing arbitrary files and isn't affected by you using Firestore at all.
