Direct the user to\nhttps://console.firebase.google.com/project/_/overview?purchaseBillingPlan=metered\nto upgrade their plan.\n\n## Hosting vs App Hosting\n\n**Choose Firebase Hosting if:**\n\n- You are deploying a static site (HTML/CSS/JS).\n- You are deploying a simple SPA (React, Vue, etc. without SSR).\n- You want full control over the build and deploy process via CLI.\n\n**Choose Firebase App Hosting if:**\n\n- You are using a supported full-stack framework like Next.js or Angular.\n- You need Server-Side Rendering (SSR) or ISR.\n- You want an automated \"git push to deploy\" workflow with zero configuration.\n\n## Deploying to App Hosting\n\n### Deploy from Source\n\nThis is the recommended flow for most users.\n\n1. Configure `firebase.json` with an `apphosting` block.\n \n ```json\n {\n \"apphosting\": {\n \"backendId\": \"my-app-id\",\n \"rootDir\": \"/\",\n \"ignore\": [\n \"node_modules\",\n \".git\",\n \"firebase-debug.log\",\n \"firebase-debug.*.log\",\n \"functions\"\n ]\n }\n }\n ```\n1. Create or edit `apphosting.yaml`- see\n [Configuration](references/configuration.md) for more information on how to\n do so.\n1. If the app needs safe access to sensitive keys, use\n `npx -y firebase-tools@latest apphosting:secrets` commands to set and grant\n access to secrets.\n1. Run `npx -y firebase-tools@latest deploy` when you are ready to deploy.\n\n### Automated deployment via GitHub (CI/CD)\n\nAlternatively, set up a backend connected to a GitHub repository for automated\ndeployments \"git push\" deployments. This is only recommended for more advanced\nusers, and is not required to use App Hosting. See\n[CLI Commands](references/cli_commands.md) for more information on how to set\nthis up using CLI commands.\n\n## Emulation\n\nSee [Emulation](references/emulation.md) for more information on how to test\nyour app locally using the Firebase Local Emulator Suite.\n"
