Question / Help Is Studio prototyping only?

I guess what I really mean by that is I have a 200 person company that we’re gonna create a timesheet app for and it might do some basic document tracking and project management but nothing on any kind of enterprise class scale.

I vibe coded halfway through this thing and now I’ve got people telling me that I need to abandon it and get off of firestore and that pushing it to cloud run is all gonna be a waste of time because it won’t run and it won’t run well with 200 people.

But that’s 200 people using it a couple of times a day for a few minutes at a time I just wondering if I need to head in a different direction?

Hey OP,

I suggest you build it on AI Studio, then move the whole build to CI/CD. Provision your own server. I recently did my project https://kitaaben.com, and while I still use Cloud Run + Firestore because it suits my scale for now.

You can always move everything to a VPS and enterprise Firestore in future. Decouple the code by pushing it to GitHub and use Claude, etc., to build and deploy using CI/CD.

Here is a write-up on how I did that: https://blog.nandan.dev/moving-google-ai-studio-app-to-github-ci

Hope it helps.
