App Hosting Basics

Description

This skill enables the agent to deploy and manage modern, full-stack web applications (Next.js, Angular, etc.) using Firebase App Hosting.

Important: In order to use App Hosting, your Firebase project must be on the Blaze pricing plan. Direct the user to https://console.firebase.google.com/project/_/overview?purchaseBillingPlan=metered to upgrade their plan.

Hosting vs App Hosting

Choose Firebase Hosting if:

• You are deploying a static site (HTML/CSS/JS).
• You are deploying a simple SPA (React, Vue, etc. without SSR).
• You want full control over the build and deploy process via CLI.

Choose Firebase App Hosting if:

• You are using a supported full-stack framework like Next.js or Angular.
• You need Server-Side Rendering (SSR) or ISR.
• You want an automated "git push to deploy" workflow with zero configuration.
