Google discontinues firebase studio online ide, directing users to antigravity or AI studio

Google is set to retire its Firebase Studio online Integrated Development Environment (IDE), according to a report published by Engadget last week. The platform is scheduled for a complete shutdown on March 22, 2027, after which all associated data will be permanently deleted and irrecoverable. The transition has already begun; the creation of new workspaces and user registrations within Firebase Studio ceased in June of this year. Existing users are advised to continue working within their current environments while planning their migration to alternative solutions, such as Google Antigravity or Google AI Studio. Firebase Studio, which debuted in preview on April 10, 2025, offered AI chatbot capabilities intended for application prototyping, adjustments, and other development tasks, though its primary function remained code editing.
