In the Cloud: Serverless on GCP

Finishing off the month of June, we have the first-ever “In the Cloud” live stream, this month’s theme as “Serverless on GCP”. This was an event organized by Google Developers Space. Both GDG organizers Hairizuan and Weiyuan were invited as guest speakers in this live stream.

From the live stream, both Hairizuan and Weiyuan answered several questions, such as what is meant as “Serverless” in today’s world. They also discussed how Serverless can be best utilized using Google App Engine and Cloud Run, using Google Cloud platform — and also other non-serverless alternatives, such as Kubernetes.

Check out the live stream here:

Due to time constraints faced in the live stream, not all questions from the audience were answered. However, the duo has looked into answering these questions in a separate post here.
