Mini-project challenge
Build a tiny web app with:
Frontend: React
Auth: Firebase Authentication (email/password)
Tracking: Record how many times a logged-in user clicks a button; store per-user counts in Firestore
Usage Display: Show each user’s personal count (e.g., a counter on the page)
Backend: Node.js (Fastify) API with WebSockets (Socket.IO or ws) to stream progress/events
Cache/Realtime: Redis (Memorystore) for short-TTL cache and pub/sub to broadcast updates
GPU Service: Python (FastAPI) on GCE that the API calls to “run compute” (lightweight GPU stub OK)
Hosting / Deploy
Frontend on Firebase Hosting (or static hosting of your choice)
Backend API on Cloud Run
GPU service on Google Compute Engine (private/internal preferred)
Deliverables
GitHub repo with README (setup, env vars, deploy steps)
Live URL(s) to the app and API
Brief security note: Firestore rules (user can only read/write their own doc), API verifies Firebase ID token, Redis not exposed publicly, GPU service protected (private IP and/or shared token)
