Join the FAU Google Developer Student Club on Wednesday, April 14th, 2021, and follow along as we introduce you to Cloud Functions on Google Cloud.

Cloud Functions on the Google Cloud Platform are a super powerful and easy way to set up simple or complex backend systems, capable of scaling up and down quickly, responding to background events, and acting as an HTTP web server using Express (Node.js), Flask (Python), and more!

In this event, we’ll give you access to the Google Cloud Platform to build, test, and deploy your very first Cloud Function that responds to HTTP requests using Flask in Python.

• Why serverless computing is so appealing
• How Cloud Functions make creating applications easy
• How background events make Cloud Functions so powerful
• How to write an HTTP Cloud Function using Flask
• How to test an HTTP Cloud Function

No prior experience of Cloud Functions, Flask, or cloud computing required for this event.
