Data Connect and GraphQL

Firebase Data Connect, now renamed SQL Connect, uses GraphQL as the interface for a Cloud SQL-hosted PostgreSQL backend, generating client APIs, type-safe SDKs, authentication integration, and tools for generative AI workflows from application schemas and operations. GraphQL was selected for its concise, strongly typed, language-agnostic, customizable, widely supported, and mature design, as well as its ability to handle relational queries and filtering. Developers define database structures with GraphQL types and directives, while SQL Connect can automatically generate keys, standard queries, and CRUD mutations from those schemas. The example movie-review service illustrates how schemas describe fields and types, queries retrieve filtered and ordered movie data with authorization controls, and mutations insert, update, upsert, or delete records. SQL Connect is presented as a backend-as-a-service approach that combines PostgreSQL’s database capabilities with GraphQL’s structured schemas, data operations, and access controls, and it is available in public preview.
