Serverless API creation using GC

on YouTube ↗34m

" summary

Builds a serverless REST API on Google Cloud Functions, deploys it in about five minutes and exposes a public URL for testing, uses JWTs with header/payload/signature (default HS256) for auth, and decodes tokens server-side to validate callers. Shows screenshots of the deployment flow, logs and a simple hello‑world JSON response. Notes risks of storing JWTs in localStorage, recommends short token lifetimes or server-side storage, and offers Auth0 Webtasks as a free alternative for functions and endpoints.
