Subject: Re: Very Disappointed with Firebase Studio Performance / Reliability
Hi there — I totally get why you’re feeling disappointed. These tools promise “frictionless dev in the browser,” but when they hiccup or break, it’s more frustrating than doing something “the old way.” I can assure that the App works very well. Here are screenshots of what I made with Firebase until I ran out of funds right when I was ready to publish. This is a very powerful Application. I literally broke Famous AI, and the others just got stuck trying to process the idea of what I wanted. This little puppy went right to work my friend. I built this in nearly 30 days. The ROI failed only because I did not read the Documentation and run A/B Tests. Image 2 experienced and kept hanging on 404 many times and caused dev time to go up and funds to go down. I never experienced your frustration and pain point to start so I hope that this will help. I advise you to take 72 hrs. and read the Documentation, and watch the tutorials in order as they apply to your project, from basic to advanced concepts. Next, take 48 hrs. to know your app and test it out on paper or in a IDE on-line; that helped me, and now I am able to provide some guideance. Try the steps below and let me know how things go. I hope my images inspire you to keep going.
From what I see across threads, here are some of the recurring failure modes that match your experience — and steps worth trying to regain stability:
What often goes wrong under the hood
-
Persistent cache or build artifacts that don’t refresh, so fixes don’t show up.
-
Manifest or routing definitions being omitted in the deployed preview even when they work locally.
-
API or preview servers misrouting requests or failing silently (especially under load or after changes).
-
The AI / prototyper agent making changes that diverge subtly from the code-based logic, introducing drift.
Suggested Recovery Path
-
Purge all temp/build artifacts (
.next,.firebase,node_modules) and rebuild from clean state. -
Force a fresh preview deployment (non-incremental) so caching is broken.
-
Compare route manifest / rewrite rules in your local build vs what’s deployed.
-
Watch logs during preview build / deployment — spot missing route entries or failed copy operations.
-
If possible, strip down to a minimal repro (just one or two routes) and see if that still fails.
I know that fixes don’t erase disappointment, but getting a stable baseline again helps restore confidence. If you post your preview build logs or route manifest here, I’m happy to take a look with you and pinpoint exactly where it’s diverging.
