Lab notes

  • Everything attached, and I paid for it in wall clock

    Firebase Studio/24 Aug 2026 Lab seeded

    Auth, storage, scheduled functions and the datastore all wired up without me leaving the workspace, and none of them needed a second attempt. That is the strongest integration story in the index and my score says so. The cost is that every prompt round trips through a provisioned cloud workspace, so the median is materially worse than the local agents and the p90 is worse again on a bad afternoon. Also worth knowing before you start: the public pages came back client rendered until I asked for server rendering explicitly, which is a bad surprise to have after launch.

    We reached the same place. It is a specialist tool for work that is genuinely unattended, and using it as a general agent is how the invoice gets away from you.
