Quizrd! A Journey into the Cloud
summary
A playable demo app called Quizrd (quizard.io) uses containerized services on Cloud Run with images in Artifact Registry and CI/CD via Cloud Build and Terraform, stores quizzes and realtime results in Firestore, and exposes a typed REST surface via an OpenAPI-generated client. Quiz content is produced by pluggable generators (GPT‑4 / Bard prototypes) but requires fact‑checking because of hallucinations. Analytics run in BigQuery (Wikipedia pageview + Wikidata joins), and heavier ML lives in Vertex AI; cold starts and auth are handled with Secret Manager and custom domains.
