In Making a film color DNA I described how I was using both color strips and labelled content to find videos that were duplicates or similar. I’m already using ElasticSearch to disambiguate films using labels and object tracking artefacts identified by the Google Video Intelligence API. The next step is to enhance that similarity matching using the color strips of a film as finger prints. […]
In a recent article Puppeteer, Cloud Run and GraphQL together I covered a GraphQL API for Pupeteer hosted on Google Cloud Run. This is publicly available for you try out. This article will cover all […]
A Google Cloud run hosted puppeteer with a graphQL interface and examples in Node and Apps Script. […]
Extend a client library object by proxying and intercepting calls to its native methods. This example adds functionality to a redis client, and also gives tips on using GCP secret manger for configuration. […]
In Blistering fast file streaming between Drive and Cloud Storage using Cloud Run I showed how you could use Cloud Run to hand off transfers between Drive and Cloud Storage to make them faster and […]
A friend of mine hit an Apps Script problem the other day when transferring large amounts of data between Drive and Cloud Storage. We’ve all had the mysterious ‘unexpected Javacript runtime error’ from the IDE […]
Create beautiful Apps Script add-ons with Vuetify and Vue.js The idea of ‘reactive programming’ has been around for many years, but frameworks such as React, Vue and so on have moved it into the mainstream. […]
The problem with rate limits You’ve most likely hit the problem of rate-limited APIS at some point. You make a request and it gets refused because you’ve done too many requests in some time period. […]
Getting an FTP server running on Kubernetes is a little tricky. The FTP service uses multiple ports in its negotiation and you need to make sure that the conversation always connects to the same Kubernetes […]
Here’s how to set up a service account to access your firebase data base in admin mode. It’s quite disjointed in the docs, so here it is from start to finish. The console Just as […]
The Video Intelligence API allows you to analyze the content of videos. I covered basic labelling in Google Video Intelligence API film labelling. This section will look at how to get a transcript of a film. It turns […]
This is the second step in Making sense of Ocr – an orchestration wrapper for the APIS we’ll need. In Google Vision and OCR I showed how to use the vision API to turn a […]
Some APIS allow batching of requests, but with a maximum number you can do at the same time. When the calls are asynchronous, chunking a request into smaller pieces and putting it all together afterwards […]

This is a step in Getting an API running in Kubernetes Building your demo app Before getting into the Kubernetes configuration, the first step is to create a demo App, which will run on Node/Express. […]
In Getting cockroachDB running with Kubernetes I covered how to get your cockroach database orchestrated by Kubernetes. Next you’ll want to get your API running, and expose it over SSL. Normally I’d put these kind […]
In Getting cockroachDB running with Kubernetes I covered how to get cockroachdb going on Kubernetes, but that was in insecure mode, which is fine for playing around inside the Kubernetes cluster, but not good enough […]
If you’ve followed Getting cockroachdb running on google cloud platform you’ll have a small cockroach implementation of 3 nodes running as Docker containers on a single VM on Google Cloud Platform that can run local […]
Cockroachdb is a PostgreSQL compatible SQL database. It’s architecture is somewhat like Google Spanner, but you need to install it on your own infrastructure. This article will give a brief overview of how this stuff is […]
Now that Apps Script is opening up with a new CLI tool and API to allow you to use your own development tool change, there’s more reason than ever to start using NodeJs as part of your […]
This is the second step in Making sense of Ocr – an orchestration wrapper for the APIS we’ll need. In Google Vision and OCR I showed how to use the vision API to turn a pdf into a series […]
This is the first step in Making sense of Ocr – getting a pdf turned into a JSON map. Mechanics First of all just load your pdf file somewhere in cloud storage, then I’ll use this code […]
In the project I’m using for illustrating some of the capabilities of GCP, I need to make sense of a variety of documents, some very complex and some less so. The basic problem though is that there […]
The Video Intelligence API allows you to analyze the content of videos. For my use case this is super useful, because now I can Label videos with their content, and use those labels to navigate to the […]
This’ll be quite a long post, or maybe a series of them, as auth is always complicated. Lets first of all set the scene. This is a VueJs client that needs access, both authenticated and […]
I had originally planned just to use cloud functions for some of the work referred to in Google cloud platform, but since I’m running a Kubernetes cluster anyway, making that cluster scalable to deal with cloud […]
In Stream content to Google Cloud Storage I covered how you could stream content (in this case a video file) from a hosted URL to an object on cloud storage in preparation for labelling it with the […]
This article looks at the Node implementation to stream content directly to google cloud storage, and we’ll look at how to convert that to a Cloud run function in a later one. Note that although […]
