Summary &
wrap-up
7. The first word on Security
Authentication ("authn") vs authorization ("authz")
● authn: you are who you say you are
○ login & passwd
○ handprint authentication
○ retina scan
● authz: okay, you are who you say you are, but can you haz data?
○ OAuth2 - mostly authz, but some authn
○ Mostly about 3rd-party access to data
○ Users must give YOUR code access to THEIR data
○ Most of the time when you see "auth", it refers to authz
● Some refer to this as "consent" vs. "credentials…" which is which?
Cloud/GCP console
console.cloud.google.com
● Hub of all developer activity
● Applications == projects
○ New project for new apps
○ Projects have a billing acct
● Manage billing accounts
○ Financial instrument required
○ Personal or corporate credit cards,
Free Trial, and education grants
● Access GCP product settings
● Manage users & security
● Manage APIs in devconsole
8. ● View application statistics
● En-/disable Google APIs
● Obtain application credentials
Using Google APIs
goo.gl/RbyTFD
API manager aka Developers Console (devconsole)

9. SIMPLE
AUTHORIZED
Which do you choose?
OAuth2 or
API key
HTTP-based REST APIs 1
HTTP
2
Google APIs request-response workflow
● Application makes request
● Request received by service
● Process data, return response
● Results sent to application
(typical client-server model)

cloud.google.com/compute
cloud.google.com/storage
Yeah, we got VMs & big disk… but why*?
Serverless computing: opinionated
logic-hosting containers in the cloud
40. Serverless: what & why
● What is serverless?
○ Misnomer
○ "No worries"
○ Developers focus on writing code & solving business problems*
● Why serverless?
○ Fastest growing segment of cloud... per analyst research*:
■ $1.9B (2016) and $4.25B (2018) ⇒ $7.7B (2021) and $14.93B (2023)
○ What if you go viral? Autoscaling: your new best friend
○ What if you don't? Code not running? You're not paying.

function sendMap() {
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var address = sheet.getRange("A2").getValue();
var map = Maps.newStaticMap().addMarker(address);
GmailApp.sendEmail('friend@example.com', 'Map',
'See below.', {attachments:[map]});
}
JS
49. Running Code: Cloud Run
Got a containerized app? Want its
flexibility along with the convenience
of serverless that's fully-managed
plus auto-scales? Google Cloud Run is
exactly what you're looking for!
cloud.google.com/run
Code, build, deploy
.js .rb .go
.sh.py ...
● Any language, library, binary
○ HTTP port, stateless
● Bundle into container
○ Build w/Docker OR
○ Google Cloud Build
○ Image ⇒ Container Registry
● Deploy to Cloud Run (managed or GKE)
StateHTTP
https://yourservice.run.app
50. Other Google APIs
Leverage features of other Google products
Search YouTube for videos
from __future__ import print_function
from googleapiclient import discovery
from settings import API_KEY
QUERY = 'python -snake'
trim = lambda x, ct: ('%s%s' % (x[:ct],
'...' if len(x)>ct else '')).ljust(ct+3)
print('n** Searching for %r videos...' % QUERY)
YOUTUBE = discovery.build('youtube', 'v3', developerKey=API_KEY)
res = YOUTUBE.search().list(q=QUERY, type='video',
part='id,snippet').execute().get('items', [])
for item in res:
print('http://youtu.be/%st%s' % (
trim(item['id']['videoId'], 24),
trim(item['snippet']['title'], 48)))
51. ● Not just for conversations
● Create microservice utilities
● Build chat bots to...
○ Automate workflows
○ Query for information
○ Other heavy-lifting
● Plain text or rich UI "cards"
● Very flexible ("any")
development environment
○ POST to HTTP port
Hangouts Chat bots
(bot framework & API)
"Hello World" (echo bot)
Python+Flask: GAE or other hosting
from flask import Flask, request, json
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route('/', methods=['POST'])
def on_event():
event = request.get_json()
msg = {}
if event['type'] == 'MESSAGE':
text = 'Hi {}. You sent: {}'.format(
event['user']['displayName'], event['message']['text'])
msg = {'text': text}
return json.jsonify(msg)
Hangouts Chat bots
goo.gl/jt3FqK
52. "Hello World" (echo bot)
