If you’re anything like me, you like to try your complex queries on a local copy of your database before unleashing it on the one in production. Firebase automates and abstracts a great many things, but the process of requesting an export, downloading that export, clearing the export from the bucket it got generated in, getting the right files in the right place, and then finally getting the emulators running with your newly exported data is all a bit cumbersome, and a great fit for automation.
