What Firebase changed

• Added a new pricing structure for Remote Config fetch requests starting September 1, 2026.
• Introduced a 100,000 free daily request limit for Remote Config, followed by tiered pricing ($0.06 per 10k requests, then $0.01 per 10k requests).
• Added a 3-month no-cost trial for SQL Connect (Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL).
• Detailed specific "Pay as you go" rates for App Hosting, including $0.20/GiB for uncached bandwidth starting August 2025.
• Clarified Cloud Firestore Enterprise edition limits, including specific daily write and read unit quotas.
• Added pricing for Android Device Streaming at 15 cents per minute after the first 30 free minutes.

Firebase is moving away from a completely free model for some core services. High-traffic apps that frequently refresh configurations will now face new daily costs starting in late 2026.

• Added a new featured story about building a production-ready iOS app in just six hours.
• Highlighted the use of "Antigravity," a Google coding agent, to speed up development.
• Replaced a news item about a Codex plugin with the new iOS/Antigravity case study.
• Moved the report on the September 2026 iOS SDK outage further down the news list.

Firebase is promoting how fast developers can build real apps using their tools combined with Google's new AI coding agents. This targets developers who want to ship products quickly without managing complex backend code.

• Added new products to the "Build" category: Firebase AI Logic and SQL Connect.
• Introduced a $300 credit offer for new billing accounts to use on AI and hosting services.
• Added a comprehensive navigation menu listing all products under "Build" and "Run" categories.
• Updated the "News & events" section with a report on a Google Analytics iOS SDK outage.
• Added a dedicated "Agent Skills" section for AI assistance.
• Expanded the integrations list to include Slack, Jira, and Android Studio.
• Added a footer with links to developer guides, GitHub, and community channels.

Firebase is expanding its platform to include more managed AI tools and traditional database connectivity. This makes it easier for developers to build complex AI apps without managing their own backend logic or infrastructure.
