Best way to learn - a real world use-case, and not just a "hello world!"

Thanks for wonderful architecture set up discussion.Please add application/infra automation set up to make it more comprehensive end to end in future

[@TheMomander]

Excellent idea -- thank you!

My fav episode, i've done something kinda similar for internal dashboard, it was angular cloud run service with https external load balancer and authentication with IAP

[@TheMomander]

That sounds like a very nice architecture! IAP makes authentication easy for your web apps if you know who your users are up-front, like for a company-internal app. Cloud Identity Platform is my preferred tool when I want new users to be able to sign up.

[@TheMomander]

By the way, the Cloud Run + IAP integration has launched. See the video titled "Cloud Run user auth for internal apps" that was released recently.

GCP does a way better job of training people than AWS. It’s almost like they want their platform to be approachable and easy to use…

[@intrepidcoder1987]

This. 1000% this.

[@SirWilliamWalker]

Fantastic video, more of these please!

[@LarsRyeJeppesen]

Firestore, Cloud Run and PubSub are just matches made in Heaven.

[@TheMomander]

Agreed! Now that I think about it, I'm surprised we didn't use PubSub in this app.

[@LarsRyeJeppesen]

@@TheMomander Indeed, and we cannot forget Cloud Memorystore (Redis). Love it

[@darsh_shukla]

Waiting for the next part.

[@bertiii95]

Fantastic video of a common situation.

[@ishaanmalhotra3008]

Thanks for this. I couldn't decide between using App engine or Cloud run for my hobby node js app. Guess I'll go with Cloud run then.

[@TheMomander]

Both are great products, but I think you will find that Cloud Run is easier to adapt as your needs change. For example, you might start without containers, and then decide to switch to containers in the future. Cloud Run supports both approaches.

[@relaygus]

Thanks for this video. I'm wondering: Why wasn't GCS amongst the options considered to host the static assets?

[@TheMomander]

Good question! Google Cloud Storage is a great option for storing static assets for web apps, like HTML, CSS, and JS files. We should have included it for consideration in the video.

[@playcandace]

This is great!

[@soulacquy]

nice dashboard and explanation

[@softwaretestinglearninghub]

Great video!

[@vineethp8168]

@martin can you please check our conversation thread in the video about memstore and cloud run. Any help is appreciated.

[@TheMomander]

I have this new comment tracker app, so I never miss a comment any more 😁 ! Was out of the office last week, and will respond to your comment on that other video. Thanks for the heads up.

[@daviidon]

I just realized that the first episode was 4months ago...

[@RadityoPrasetiantoWibowo]

hi, why not just simple cloud run, generated html from cloud run plus little bit jquery 😁

[@TheMomander]

This is an underrated comment 😄. I haven't heard of jquery for a long, long time. But if jquery is what the team knows, and it lets you launch the app sooner, go for it!

[@LarsRyeJeppesen]

JQUERY? whoa

[@TheMomander]

@@LarsRyeJeppesen And here we are kidding around about jQuery, and yet it is still used on 94.6% of all websites that use Javascript according to w3techs. 😮

[@LarsRyeJeppesen]

@@TheMomander yes I know, very sad
