Say hello to the helpful Firebase Emulator

Say hello to the helpful Firebase Emulator

+A local first UI to boost your productivity.

Firebase team is extremely excited to introduce the Emulator UI to the Firebase community.

The Emulator UI is a local web app that allows you to manage local emulators that make up the Firebase Local Emulator Suite.

Why a local first UI?

The Emulator UI aims to give you the freedom to develop on Firebase without concerns about billing or breaking a shared environment.

You can write that code, run it locally, and then create a document in the Emulator UI and see the trigger fire.

What's better is that you can even see the logs of the local function to help with any debugging or even just to ensure a successful invocation.

The goal is to provide you the safety of developing and testing your code without interfering with shared environments, waiting on deploys, or incurring billing costs.
