Google just announced that Firebase Studio, its cloud-based AI development environment, will be shut down on March 22, 2027. The announcement, posted to the Firebase documentation site on March 19, 2026, marks yet another chapter in what critics have long called “Google’s graveyard” problem: the company’s pattern of building beloved developer tools and then quietly […]
