Full Stack in a Weekend

on YouTube ↗19m

" summary

A working Android app plus a REST backend get built and deployed in a single weekend using Kotlin with a shared model module, MVVM UI, Retrofit suspend functions on the client and Ktor on App Engine for the server. Objectify talks to Google Cloud Datastore (1 GB free), local Datastore emulator lets you test (slow but file‑based), and Gradle App Engine deploys a version that can be rolled back. The project is released and actually runs on the free GCP tier.
