Zero to App: Live coding an app with Firebase and GCP
summary
Live builds a bilingual communicator using Firebase + Google Cloud: client apps record audio, upload to Cloud Storage, write metadata to the Realtime Database, and trigger Cloud Functions that call Cloud Speech for transcription and Cloud Translation for seven target languages, writing all translations back so clients play them with native TTS. The pipeline deploys with deploy with a single command, needs no servers to manage, completes in ~30 minutes on stage and successfully translates live Dutch and Hindi demos.
