 This repo handles the HTTP Archive data pipeline, which takes the results of the monthly HTTP Archive run and saves this to the `httparchive` dataset in BigQuery.
 
+A secondary pipeline is responsible for populating the Technology Report Firestore collections.
+
 There are currently two main pipelines:
 
 - The `all` pipeline which saves data to the new `httparchive.all` dataset
 - The `combined` pipline which saves data to the legacy tables. This processes both the `summary` tables (`summary_pages` and `summary_requests`) and `non-summary` pipeline (`pages`, `requests`, `response_bodies`....etc.)
 
+The secondary `tech_report` pipeline saves data to a Firestore database (e.g. `tech-report-apis-prod`) across various collections ([see `TECHNOLOGY_QUERIES` in constants.py](modules/constants.py))
+
 The pipelines are run in Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and are kicked off automatically on crawl completion, based on the code in the `main` branch which is deployed to GCP on each merge.
 
 The [`data-pipeline` workflow](https://console.cloud.google.com/workflows/workflow/us-west1/data-pipeline/executions?project=httparchive) as defined by the [data-pipeline-workflows.yaml](./data-pipeline-workflows.yaml) file, runs the whole process from start to finish, including generating the manifest file for each of the two runs (desktop and mobile) and then starting the four dataflow jobs (desktop all, mobile all, desktop combined, mobile combined) in sequence to upload of the HAR files to the BigQuery tables. This can be rerun in case of failure by [publishing a crawl-complete message](#publishing-a-pubsub-message), providing no data was saved to the final BigQuery tables.
