Overview

Awesome Google Cloud is a curated, community-maintained directory of applications, tools, libraries, examples, and learning resources for building on Google Cloud Platform (GCP). It aggregates high-quality GitHub projects and references related to various Google Cloud services.

Features

• Curated awesome list: Focused specifically on the Google Cloud ecosystem, following the conventions of the broader "awesome" list community.
• Coverage of Google Cloud services: Includes resources spanning major GCP areas such as:
  • General Google Cloud resources (high-level references, getting started materials, and common tooling).
  • Compute services, including:
    • App Engine – examples and tools for building and deploying on App Engine (section present in the list, with projects linked in the repo).
    • Cloud Functions – libraries and tools for serverless functions, such as:
      • Functions Framework – open-source libraries for writing portable Google Cloud functions.
      • Goblet – an open-source library for building serverless Python applications on Google Cloud Functions.
    • Cloud Run – resources and examples for running containers in a fully managed serverless environment (section present, with linked projects in the repo).
    • Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) – tools and examples for running workloads on Kubernetes, such as:
      • GKE Policy Automation – tool and policy library for validating GKE clusters against configuration best practices.
      • Real-time Simon Says – a sample real-time, scalable application built with gRPC for bidirectional streaming and Kubernetes for scalability, with clients for web, IoT (Arduino), Android, and command line.
• Cross-product section: Dedicated area for tools and patterns that span multiple Google Cloud products.
• Open source repository: Entire list is maintained as a GitHub repository, making it easy to browse, search, and contribute.
• Contribution guidelines: Includes a CONTRIBUTING.md file to standardize how new entries are added and reviewed.
• Clearly licensed: Includes a LICENSE file specifying usage terms for the list content.
