Summary

Firebase App Hosting is a public-preview serverless hosting service for server-rendered Angular and Next.js applications that automates builds, backend provisioning, CDN delivery, and scaling on Google Cloud. It connects to GitHub for continuous deployment, using Cloud Build to create static assets, Cloud Run to execute dynamic server-side content, and Cloud CDN to distribute cached content globally, while tracking deployed versions to specific commits. The platform includes configuration-free framework adapters, support for features such as Next.js streaming and Angular deferred loading, and optional controls over runtime settings, service accounts, secrets, and access permissions. Built on Google Cloud, it provides automatic scaling, high availability, Secret Manager integration, and compatibility with Firebase tools including the updated JavaScript SDK, AngularFire, Data Connect, and Genkit. Firebase positions App Hosting as a specialized option for modern full-stack server-rendered apps rather than a replacement for the original Firebase Hosting, which remains recommended for static web applications.
