What is Firebase Studio?
According to Google, Firebase Studio is an agentic cloud-based development environment that helps you build and ship production-quality full-stack AI apps. The environment is built on Code OSS and runs a full virtual machine powered by Google Cloud. The service is in Preview, which means it is not subject to any SLA or deprecation policy and could change in backwards-incompatible ways.
Google has announced that Firebase Studio is sunsetting on March 22, 2027. As of June 22, 2026, new workspace creation and user signup are disabled.
