GSBC#46 Unleashing your code with Google Cloud Functions

Tym razem spotkanie po angielsku!

An intense walk-through of an engineer's journey using Cloud Functions on GCP.

You don’t need any Docker, Kubernetes, NodeJS or Istio knowledge for this Cloud Lab.

We will cover:

• Writing async functions in NodeJS with Promises
• Debugging and deploying Cloud Functions using Google’s Functions CLI and Emulator.
• Triggering GCFs directly and via Bucket upload events
• Writing surprisingly-short async Cloud Functions that perform
• Text and speech recognition
• Manners
• Text translation
• Speech Synthesis

Google write amazing software. With GCFs you benefit not just from their infrastructure, but also from their amazing software solutions.

To prepare before:

1. Create and activate a Google Cloud Account

• Create a new google account: https://accounts.google.com/signup
• Activate your account's Google Cloud Platform: https://cloud.google.com/?authuser=1
• Create a New Project in GCP, and take note of the new project's ID : https://console.cloud.google.com/projectcreate

2. Download Google Cloud SDK

• Install gcloud (Google Cloud's SDK) from https://cloud.google.com/sdk/docs/downloads-interactive
• Confirm gcloud is now working, and that it is connected to your google account:

terminal>gcloud auth list
