Get silly with serverless
summary
Shows how Google Cloud Functions (Node.js) glue services: upload an image to Cloud Storage, a function invokes Cloud Vision for labels and creates a thumbnail — demo produces a tiny thumbnail and labels, and functions scale from zero with sub‑second billing but 9‑minute timeouts and ~1–2s cold starts. Demonstrates Firebase realtime DB pushing updates to multiple browsers, Cloud Functions triggered by DB changes (translation example), Dialogflow + functions for a squat-timer, and BigQuery queries that find 56 million Java files across 3.38M repositories (query scanned ~173GB).
