Deploy to a Secondary (Development) App Hosting Backend

App Hosting

I’m wondering if it is possible to set up a secondary app hosting backend (adding all the necessary changes that comes with creating a new backend) as well as a second Firestore database all within the same Firestore project to deploy a “development” version of the application.

Is this possible to do within Firebase Studio? Would it be better to create a new Firebase project all together (my-project-development) and deploy that way? Will I need to spin up a new project in Firebase Studio to do so?

I would also be interested in best practice around dev vs prod instances for Firebase.

I’ve found the solution: it depends on the environment name set in the backend.
