This workshop guides attendees through the full deployment lifecycle of a two-tiered application on Cloud Run. The application structure consists of:

Backend Service: An ADK Agent (a powerful, generative AI-driven component) is deployed as the core API service.

Frontend Service: A Gradio application provides a simple, interactive web interface for users to interact with the agent.

A crucial component of this session is establishing secure, authenticated communication between the two services using Cloud Run's native service-to-service authentication mechanism, ensuring the backend agent is not publicly exposed and is only accessible by the authorized frontend.
