Google will shut down Firebase Studio in March 2027

Google has scheduled the complete shutdown of Firebase Studio for 22 March 2027. The company will permanently delete any remaining cloud workspaces and stored assets on that date. Firebase Studio, launched in preview in April 2025, is a browser-based development environment with Gemini-assisted coding and integration with Firebase services.

Google is consolidating its AI development tools around Google AI Studio and local tooling. Production applications hosted on Firebase, along with services including Cloud Firestore and Authentication, are not affected by the shutdown. Developers should export projects before the deadline: standard archives include application source code but exclude AI-assistant conversations, which are stored in `/home/user/.idx/ai` and must be saved separately.

Only workspace owners can run automated migration routines; collaborators must export repository branches manually. Teams should also check that required environment variables are configured in their new hosting environments.
