Building G Suite add-ons with Google Apps Script (Google Cloud Next '17)

This is simply an ad for Ultradox. It would've been more useful to have a demo to "build" an add-on as the title misleadingly suggests.

Is it free to publish a private addon ?

Like the presenter from google a lot. He emphasizes all the key words so we understand all the important ideas without confusion !!

He very conveniently jumps past the aches and pains that come from deploying as a Sheets add-on. It's not just add some screenshots and other details. It is add screenshots and security keys, and project IDs, and obscure manifest files, and project IDs.... All of which doesn't work because it's trying to make a chrome extension that doesn't make sense.

The term "serverless", as noted in the video, might be called "zero provisioning." Thank you for explaining the use of the term within this context. I have found the use of the term "serverless", in this context, to be something that makes no sense, and is therefore confusing. My initial thought was, "It must run in the browser, on the 'clients' computer" I mean, if it's "serverless" then there must not be a server involved. Right? Of course Apps Script doesn't run in the browser. Using the term "serverless" to describe a service that runs on the server, is confusing at best. Promoting something as "serverless" seems to be a mute point to me. Unless you, or your organization, buy servers, and maintain them, then what you are using is already "serverless."

Great introduction to Google Apps Script and an interesting real use case. Ultradox looks like quite a powerful tool for anyone using G Suite or interesting on what you may built on Apps Script.
