What products should I try?

  • Machine Learning APIs - gain insights from data using Google’s pre-trained machine learning models.
  • Firebase (firebase.google.com) - mobile / web development platform featuring the Firebase realtime database
  • Databases & Cloud Storage-
  • Cloud Functions (cloud.google.com/functions) - event-driven serverless computing in JavaScript and Python. Great for backend code to call various APIs.

Where can I see Sample Code?

Documentation for all of our products at cloud.google.com has sample code embedded in all tutorials. Check out our Quickstart tutorials (i/e https://cloud.google.com/vision/docs/quickstart-client-libraries). See above for links to product documentation.
We also have this GitHub repository (https://github.com/ryanmats/gcp-hackathon-demos) with end-to-end code samples showing you how to integrate Machine Learning APIs (Vision, Speech, Natural Language, Translate, and Video Intelligence) into web applications and deploy them to App Engine.
