Firebase Studio: Overview & Tutorial

Google Dives Into Dev Tools Territory

Google seems to have gotten in over its head. After a few problems last year, the company caught up with the competition in chatbots, AI search, and image generation. And now, it is stepping on the heels of more specialized solutions.

The company released Firebase Studio. We have tried this platform and can already say it is one of the most interesting tools for both vibe coders and devs.

What Is Firebase Studio

Firebase Studio, launched last week at Cloud Next 2025, represents Google’s change in app development approaches. It's a cloud-based, agentic development environment that brings together what you need to build, test, deploy, and run AI apps in one place.

At its core, Firebase Studio combines several technologies:

• Project IDX (Google's browser-based development environment)

• Genkit (their framework for building AI features)

• Gemini (Google's AI model).

The result is an end-to-end platform that give us prototyping capabilities, coding workspaces, and deployment options into a single experience.

And it’s not just for devs.

What makes Firebase Studio valuable is how it works for people with different skills.
