Firebase Studio
Firebase Studio is Google's browser-based workspace for full-stack app development with Gemini coding assistance. You open a tab, import a repo or start from a template, and build backends, front ends, and mobile apps without installing a local IDE.
The platform combines a Code OSS editor running on a Google Cloud VM with AI agents, built-in web and Android previews, and tight Firebase integration. You can prototype apps in natural language with the App Prototyping agent, then switch to full code control when you need custom logic.
It fits developers and teams who want collaborative cloud workflows with deployment to Firebase App Hosting, Cloud Run, or custom infrastructure. Google announced Firebase Studio will sunset on March 22, 2027, with migration paths to Google AI Studio or Google Antigravity for existing workspaces.
Import repos from GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, or local zip archives in minutes
Prototype full-stack web apps from natural language with the App Prototyping agent
Gemini handles coding, debugging, testing, refactoring, and documentation across your codebase
Preview web apps and Android emulators in the browser as you build
Share workspace preview URLs so teammates can test and give feedback live
Deploy to Firebase App Hosting, Firebase Hosting, or Cloud Run with a few clicks
Customize language tooling and IDE config with Nix on a full cloud VM
Runs entirely in the browser with no local IDE installation required.
Imports from GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and local archives with broad framework support.
Gemini assistance spans coding, debugging, testing, and deployment in one workspace.
Built-in Firebase and Google Cloud emulators for end-to-end testing before publish.
New workspace creation was disabled on June 22, 2026 ahead of the March 2027 shutdown.
Requires third-party cookies enabled in most browsers for workspace authentication.
Mandatory migration to Google AI Studio or Google Antigravity before the 2027 sunset.
Is Firebase Studio free to use?
Yes. Firebase Studio access is available at no cost during preview with 3 workspaces. Members of the Google Developer Program get up to 30 workspaces. Some integrations like Firebase App Hosting may require a Cloud Billing account.
Do I need to install software to use Firebase Studio?
No. Firebase Studio runs entirely in your browser as a cloud-based development environment. You sign in with a Google account and work from any machine with a modern browser.
What frameworks does Firebase Studio support?
Firebase Studio supports popular languages and frameworks including Next.js, React, Angular, Vue.js, Node.js, Python Flask, Go, Java, .NET, Android, and Flutter. You can start from built-in templates or import your own project.
Is Firebase Studio shutting down?
Yes. Google announced Firebase Studio sunsets on March 22, 2027. New workspace creation and signups were disabled on June 22, 2026. Existing workspaces can continue until shutdown and migrate to Google AI Studio or Google Antigravity.
Does Firebase Studio require third-party cookies?
Yes, in most browsers. Firebase Studio renders workspaces from cloudworkstations.dev inside studio.firebase.google.com, and third-party cookies are needed for secure cross-origin authentication.
What AI models does Firebase Studio use?
Firebase Studio uses Gemini for interactive chat, code generation, inline suggestions, and the App Prototyping agent. You can use the built-in Gemini model or select your preferred model for coding assistance.
