Data Connect: Event Triggers and Generated Admin SDKs

Firebase Data Connect, now renamed SQL Connect, introduces event triggers and generated admin SDKs in response to user feedback. Event triggers allow server-side code in Cloud Functions, Cloud Run, App Hosting, or other systems to run after mutations, supporting use cases such as synchronizing data with Firestore or external services, launching asynchronous tasks, and sending user notifications. Triggers can apply to every mutation or be filtered by service, connector, operation, and wildcard capture groups, although events include only mutation arguments and returned data rather than transactional pre-change snapshots. Generated admin SDKs provide type-safe, GraphQL-definition-based APIs for privileged backend and administrative environments, complementing existing arbitrary GraphQL and bulk-operation Admin SDK APIs. Because deployed SQL Connect operations are stored server-side, changes to queries or mutations require regenerating the admin SDKs and redeploying dependent services.
