Generating Developer-Friendly SDKs with Firebase Data Connect
summary
Firebase Data Connect generates SDKs from a GraphQL schema, auto-provisions a Postgres backend, and produces REST/GraphQL endpoints plus Dart models via the CLI and an emulator. Demo builds a movies app: schema created (users, movies, watched join table), queries for listAllMovies, top10 (rating desc), newReleases (year desc), and mutations add/remove watched; generated Flutter code executes queries but live demo shows auth token flakiness; Gemini code assist speeds schema creation.
