Firebase After Hours #9: Firebase Data Connect: SQL or NoSQL, that is no longer the question

Firebase now has SQL. Yes, that's right! You can now choose between NoSQL and SQL when it comes to managing your data.

In this episode of Firebase After Hours, ‪@PeterFriese‬ and ‪@NoheDev‬ are joined by Firebase PM Tyler Crowe to talk about Firebase Data Connect, and how it enables you to use SQL in your mobile and web apps. There are lots of live demos, and we answered a whole bunch of questions from the live chat. Use the chapters below to quickly jump to any topic you're interested in!
