You are a data scientist or a developer and you want to securely share a model or a Web Service, let’s get started!
Solution Overview
To demonstrate how to share and secure a cloud service, let’s take an example of a solution to extract data from RSS News Feeds (see previous post) that we want to expose to end users. Basically, we want to:
- Allow authorized users to start a search-and-extract background process using a secured API,
- Allow authorized users to get access to articles using a second secured API.

- publish_rss_feed_search_message(): triggers a Search-and-Extract Process by publishing an event message to a Cloud Pubsub Topic that will start a background process involving multiple steps.
- read_news_articles(): returns news articles from Cloud Firestore database. …
