firebase emulators:start --only auth,firestore

Start only specific emulators

Starts just the Auth and Firestore emulators from your emulator configuration, which is faster and uses less memory than starting everything. The --only flag takes a comma-separated list of emulator names such as auth, firestore, functions, database, storage, or hosting. Useful for frontend-only work that needs a mock backend.
