# Firebase Vertex AI Operate Firebase projects end-to-end (Auth, Firestore, Functions, Hosting) and integrate Gemini/Vertex AI safely for AI-powered features. ## Overview Use this skill to design, implement, and deploy Firebase applications that call Vertex AI/Gemini from Cloud Functions (or other GCP services) with secure secrets handling, least-privilege IAM, and production-ready observability. ## Prerequisites - Node.js runtime and Firebase CLI access for the target project - A Firebase project (billing enabled for Functions/Vertex AI as needed) - Vertex AI API enabled and permissions to call Gemini/Vertex AI from your backend - Secrets managed via env vars or Secret Manager (never in client code) ## Instructions 1. Initialize Firebase (or validate an existing repo): Hosting/Functions/Firestore as required. 2. Implement backend integration: - add a Cloud Function/HTTP endpoint that calls Gemini/Vertex AI - validate inputs and return structured responses 3. Configure data and security: - Firestore rules + indexes - Storage rules (if applicable) - Auth providers and authorization checks 4. Deploy and verify: - deploy Functions/Hosting - run smoke tests against deployed endpoints 5. Add ops guardrails: - logging/metrics - alerting for error spikes - basic cost controls (budgets/quotas) where appropriate ## Output - A deployable Firebase project structure (configs + Functions/Hosting as needed) - Secure backend code that calls Gemini/Vert...
