How Cloud Code helps create Google Cloud apps faster

on YouTube ↗22m

" summary

Cloud Code is an IDE extension that actually builds, deploys and debugs a Java Spring app using Skaffold and Jib to a local minikube cluster (and can switch to GKE or Cloud Run), auto-redeploying on file save, opening a URL via port forwarding, and scaling a deployment from 1 to 3 replicas live. YAML editing shows 400+ resource definitions with linting and autocompletion. Demo also pulls a Secret Manager value and prints it, proving end-to-end integration works.
