Firebase Studio is too slow sluggish

Dear team,

I have to be honest the idea of a tool like Firebase Studio is great, although I think you should really reconsider it’s performance.

The platform is way to slow to utilise as of right now. A user will never be able to use it commercially until the speed performance gets sorted out. I really hope the team is taking this into consideration, because I find it an amazing tool, although it can’t be really used properly these days.

The reason why I opened this topic, it’s to see if others are experiencing the same issues that I am experiencing such as:

  • Extremely long loading times
  • App crashing
  • Taking ages to switch from prototype to code platform.

Please let me know if this is the case for you too, if it’s not the case for you, I will contact support to try and sort this out for myself.

Thank you

Hi @desk888 - this is good feedback. We are actively working on making the product snappier, so your input here will be very helpful :slight_smile:

What is your internet speed? What browser are you using? What other similar tools have you used whose speed you find more desirable?

Thanks,
Kirupa

I have to agree but i am learning to work with it. I figured it might be my location, a little spit farming town in Mexico, not the city slicker, high speed tech hub of the world. been waiting a good 5 minutes to get past the setting up workspace initialization. Internet speed:
Descarga Mbps
50.73
Subida Mbps
19.01

@kirupa Same here. Good platform. But the prototyper AI is just freaking too slow at times. I have seen it go both at rocket speed and snails pace. But recently for the past 2 days, its been extremely slow. My location is Brazil.
Today, I noticed the code platform Gemini did not show up at all for the majority of the day. Its extremely slow with opening files.
I dont think its my internet connectivity, as I can access the internet fairly well.
