Google Cloud Vision with Spring Boot
In this post, we will take a look at how we can use Google Cloud Vision from a Spring Boot application. With Google Cloud Vision it is possible to derive all kinds of things from images, like labels, face and text recognition, etc. As a bonus, some examples with Python are provided too.
Spring Boot and GCP Cloud Pub/Sub
In this post we will explore how we can use Google Cloud Platform’s (GCP) Pub/Sub service in combination with a Spring Boot application using Spring Integration. We will send a message to a sender application which publishes the message to a Topic where a receiver application receives the messages of a Subscription.
Automatic Builds at Your Fingertips With GCP Cloud Build

First Steps with GCP SQL
In this post, we will take a look at how we can use Google Cloud Platform (GCP) SQL as a database for our Spring Boot application. We will investigate how we can use the Cloud database from our development machine and how we can use it from GCP itself.
