A web e-commerce demo app showcasing serverless capabilities of Google Cloud Platform.

Serverless Store: Google Cloud Platform Serverless Demo Application

Serverless Store is a Google-provided web e-commerce demo app where users can list, browse and purchase items. It is designed to showcase serverless solutions on Google Cloud Platform, including Google App Engine, Google Cloud Functions, Google Cloud Pub/Sub and many more.

Serverless Store is not an official Google product.

The project features:

• Fully Serverless Architecture

  The Serverless Store demo is built completely on Google-managed services, from app deployment to the database backend. It scales automatically, requires no server management at all, and costs only when you use it.

• Event-Driven Design:

  Many workloads in the Serverless Store demo are triggered by events, such as user actions (e.g. submitting an order) and system notifications, delivered via Cloud Pub/Sub. This design makes workflow automation easier than ever, and enables auto-entry, persistent logging, and many more features in the app.
