Serverless Python Applications with Google Cloud
summary
Builds a working distributed serverless contest: a deployed Python player that answers HTTP JSON moves, pub/sub‑triggered questioner functions that run games, and a manager web app on App Engine that records results in Firestore and publishes work via Pub/Sub. Demonstrates concrete code, CLI and console deploy steps, tests (curl and cloud test UI), and an identity gate using Identity-Aware Proxy. Examples include an OK player and easy/hard questioners, both deployed and exercised end‑to‑end, with results stored and viewable in the App Engine UI.
