 Follow these steps to get up and running with Firebase Data Connect. For more detailed instructions,
 check out the [official documentation](https://firebase.google.com/docs/data-connect/quickstart).
 
-### 1. Create a New Data Connect Service and Cloud SQL Instance
-
-1. Open [Firebase Data Connect](https://console.firebase.google.com/u/0/project/_/dataconnect) in 
- your project in Firebase Console and select Get Started.
-2. Create a new Data Connect service and a Cloud SQL instance. Ensure the Blaze plan is active.
- Pricing details can be found at [Firebase Pricing](https://firebase.google.com/pricing).
-3. Select your server region, if you wish to use vector search, make sure to select `us-central1` region.
-4. Allow some time for the Cloud SQL instance to be provisioned. After it's provisioned, the instance 
- can be managed in the [Cloud Console](https://console.cloud.google.com/sql).
+### 1. Connect to your Firebase project
+
+1. If you haven't already, create a Firebase project.
+    1. In the [Firebase console](https://console.firebase.google.com), click
+        **Add project**, then follow the on-screen instructions.
+
+2. Upgrade your project to the Blaze plan. This lets you create a Cloud SQL
+    for PostgreSQL instance.
+
+    > Note: Though you set up billing in your Blaze upgrade, you won't be
+    charged for usage of {{data_connect_short}} or the
+    [default Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL configuration](https://firebase.google.com/docs/data-connect/#pricing)
+    during the preview.
+
+3. Navigate to the [Data Connect section](https://console.firebase.google.com/u/0/project/_/dataconnect)
+    of the Firebase console and follow the setup workflow:
+     - Select a location for your Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL database.
+     - Fill in the following fields:
+       - Service ID: `dataconnect`
+       - Cloud SQL Instance: `cloud-sql-instance`
+       - Database name: `postgres`
+4. Allow some time for the Cloud SQL instance to be provisioned. After it's provisioned, the instance
+   can be managed in the [Cloud Console](https://console.cloud.google.com/sql).
+
+5. Download and then add the Firebase Android configuration file (`google-services.json`) to your app:
+    1. Click **Download google-services.json** to obtain your Firebase Android config file.
+    2. Move your config file into the module (app-level) root directory of your app.
 
 ### 2. Set Up Firebase CLI

 ### 3. Cloning the repository
 This repository contains the quickstart to get started with the functionalities of Data Connect.
 
-1. Clone this repository to your local machine.
-1. (Private Preview only) Checkout the `fdc-quickstart` branch and open the project in Android Studio.
-1. Open the a terminal window and initialize your Firebase project with `firebase init dataconnect`.
-1. Overwrite only dataconnect.yaml when prompted, do not overwrite any other dataconnect files.
-   (Optional): If you intend on using other Firebase features, run `firebase init` instead, and select both DataConnect options as well as any feature you intend to use.
-1. Allow domains for Firebase Auth in your [project console](https://console.firebase.google.com/project/_/authentication/settings) (e.g. http://127.0.0.1).
-
-### 4. Running queries and mutations in VS Code
-The VSCode Firebase Extension allows you to generate Firebase Data Connect SDK code, run queries/mutations, and deploy Firebase Data Connect with a click. Alternatively, see below for CLI commands.
-
-1. Install [VS Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/).
-2. Download the [Firebase extension](https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/firemat-preview-drop/o/vsix%2Ffirebase-vscode-latest.vsix?alt=media) and [install](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/extension-marketplace#_install-an-extension) it.
-3. Open this quickstart in VS code, and in the left pane of the Firebase extension, and log in with your Firebase account.
-   (Optional): If your Firebase project was not initialized in the last section, you can click `Run firebase init` and select `Data Connect` to initialize.
-4. Click on deploy to deploy your schema to your cloud SQL instance. Or run `firebase deploy --only dataconnect` (this will also activate vectors search if it's enabled in the schema).
-5. Running the VSCode extension should automatically start the DataConnect emulators. If you see an emulators error, try running `firebase emulators:start dataconnect` manually.
-
-Now you should be able to deploy your schema, run mutations/queries, generate SDK code, and view your application locally.
+1. Clone this repository to your local machine:
+   ```sh
+   git clone https://github.com/firebase/quickstart-android.git
+   ```
+
+2. (Private Preview only) Checkout the `fdc-quickstart` branch (`git checkout fdc-quickstart`)
+   and open the project in Android Studio.
+
+### 4. Deploy the service to Firebase and generate SDKs
+
+1. Open the `quickstart-android/dataconnect/dataconnect` directory and deploy the schema with
+    the following command:
+    ```bash
+    firebase deploy
+    ```
+2. Once the deploy is complete, you should be able to see the movie schema in the
+ [Data Connect section](https://console.firebase.google.com/u/0/project/_/dataconnect)
+ of the Firebase console.
+
+3. Generate the Kotlin SDK by running:
+   ```bash
+   firebase dataconnect:sdk:generate
+   ```
 
 ### 5. Populating the database
 1. Run `1_movie_insert.gql`, `2_actor_insert.gql`, `3_movie_actor_insert.gql`, and `4_user_favorites_review_insert.gql` files in the `./dataconnect` directory in order using the VS code extension,
