Firebase AI Content Management System
Is FireCMS a Firebase CMS or a Firestore CMS?
FireCMS is a Firestore-based headless CMS framework for Firebase. It uses Firestore as the backend and can be run from FireCMS Cloud (hosted) or as a self-hosted open-source solution, offering a Notion-style editor, powerful data editing, and schema tooling.
Cloud vs Self-hosted — which should I choose?
Cloud (FireCMS Cloud) is the hosted solution that gets you live quickly with less setup and maintenance. Self-hosted is the open-source framework you host yourself for full control over your infrastructure and customization. Both provide core CMS capabilities; choose Cloud for speed and simplicity, or self-hosted for maximum control.
Can I infer a schema from my existing data?
Yes. FireCMS can automatically infer schemas from your existing data, or you can design schemas visually with the Schema Builder. It supports 20+ field types with advanced validation.
Do you support SSO/SAML?
Yes. SAML SSO is available as part of the Pro tier and in self-hosted deployments as part of Pro features.
Is FireCMS open-source?
Yes. FireCMS is open-source and can be self-hosted. FireCMS Cloud is offered as a hosted service with additional benefits.
