" summary

Demo shows an Android app uploading images to Cloud Storage then calling a backend that uses Cloud Vision to detect faces, overlays emojis, writes results back to Storage and returns a JSON URL; the App Engine deployment completes in ~1m26s and code lives in the kotlin-samples GitHub. A second demo runs an Android Things device (Raspberry Pi + Rainbow HAT) sending telemetry to Cloud IoT Core and Pub/Sub while a Kotlin server flips a heater via device config and the demo ultimately works. Highlights: App Engine (Java 8 + gVisor), Cloud Vision, Cloud Storage, Firebase SDK, Cloud IoT Core → Pub/Sub → Kotlin server.
