Firebase Hosting review

Firebase Hosting fits single-page apps whose backend already lives in Firebase. One command deploys to Google's global CDN, where files are cached on SSDs at edge locations and served with gzip or Brotli compression, and live and preview channels let you test a release before it goes public. The no-cost Spark plan needs no payment method and includes 10 GB of storage and 360 MB a day of data transfer, plus custom domains with SSL and multiple sites per project. On the pay-as-you-go Blaze plan, storage costs $0.026 per GB beyond 10 GB and transfer $0.15 per GB. The limits show up with modern server-rendered frameworks: Firebase says Hosting is optimized for static and single-page apps, so dynamic pages need Cloud Functions or Cloud Run, and Google offers a separate App Hosting product for full-stack frameworks.
