How to use the App Engine Users service (Module 20)

Google Cloud's Serverless Migration Station series, led by Developer Advocate Wesley Chun, focuses on assisting developers in modernizing their App Engine applications by migrating to updated language runtimes or alternative serverless platforms like Cloud Functions and Cloud Run. The series also emphasizes the need to transition away from legacy App Engine APIs to ensure app portability. Module 20 specifically guides developers in integrating the App Engine Users service into their applications as a lightweight authentication system using Google Identity Services, enhancing user management capabilities such as login/logout functions and admin user recognition. While these updates primarily affect the user interface, the core data model remains unchanged. Developers are encouraged to follow the codelab and video tutorial to gain hands-on experience, with the option to further migrate to the Cloud Identity Platform discussed in subsequent modules. Additionally, the App Engine team has extended support for bundled services to second-generation runtimes, allowing continued use of the Users service in updated environments. The series is initially aimed at Python users, with plans to cover other runtimes in the future, and all resources are available in an open-source repository.
