About
Firebase App Hosting is a managed platform for building and deploying modern full-stack web applications. It is designed to help teams ship Angular and Next.js apps quickly with Google Cloud-backed security, scalability, and integrated deployment workflows.
The service supports end-to-end web app delivery, including server-side rendering, static site generation, client-side rendering, and CDN-backed content delivery. It also includes framework detection, secrets management, custom domain support, and rollout tooling for production deployments.
- Deploy modern Angular and Next.js applications with minimal setup
- Use reproducible cloud-based builds and GitHub-connected rollouts
- Run on Google Cloud infrastructure with Cloud Run, Cloud Build, and Cloud CDN
- Manage secrets securely through Cloud Secret Manager integration
- Support custom domains and full-stack rendering workflows
Free Tier Value
This free tier is tied to the Blaze plan, so a credit card is required and the offer is capped rather than unlimited. The included monthly allowances are substantial: 2 million Cloud Run requests, 180,000 vCPU-seconds, 360,000 GiB-seconds, 2,500 build minutes, plus storage and logging quotas, which makes it feel like a meaningful small-project allowance rather than a token trial. Compared with a typical paid Blaze-style usage bill, that is worth about $25/month in practical value.
