About Firebase Studio
Firebase Studio is Google's browser-based, agentic development environment for building full-stack AI applications. Built on Code OSS and extensible through Nix, it lets developers describe an app in natural language and have an App Prototyping Agent scaffold a working Next.js app with frontend, backend, and AI components attached. Gemini provides ongoing assistance for code completion, generation, testing, and documentation throughout the build, and the environment supports importing existing projects from repositories, local archives, or Figma designs, plus templates for frameworks like React, Angular, and Flutter. It connects directly to Firebase services such as Authentication, Firestore, Cloud Storage, and App Hosting, along with broader Google Cloud services, the Open VSX extension registry, the Builder.io Figma plugin, and Unsplash for stock imagery. Preview and debugging tools cover both web and Android apps, and the Firebase Local Emulator Suite is built in. The most important thing to know: Firebase Studio is being sunset. As of June 22, 2026, new workspace creation and user signup are disabled, and the product will be fully retired on March 22, 2027. Existing workspaces still work, and Google is directing users toward Google AI Studio or Google Antigravity instead. Firebase's core backend products are unaffected by this shutdown.
