[google-appengine] Is this an attack?

[Guanaco Devs]

While checking the logs of my GAE flask app, I noticed that from June 3rd 
through June 10th there was a spike on traffick, which is highly unusual 
for my website.
I checked the logs and found the reason for that were 3 IP addresses:

94.154.188.130:   1045 Times,
176.103.88.57:  678 Times,
176.103.85.167:1392 Times,

I have posted the requests on a gist HERE 
 for 
the last one with 1392 requests. ipqualityscore 

 says 
that this is a proxy based from russia, actually the 3 ips in question are 
from the same data center, and Ip Quality score has it on a 99 Fraud Score 
while scamalitycs  shows nothing 
wrong, maybe because is a VPN or something of the likes.

According to the logs the first request was at 2022-06-04T08:50:45 with the 
last on that time frame was on 2022-06-10T01:03:42, so it was not a DOS 
attack, times between request were as long as 46 minutes and as frequent as 
1 second in between. 

What was that? Was my site being attacked? Or maybe just a someone playing 
a penetration tester?

There were 1273 unique endpoints as listed in the gist above, 98% of them 
returned a 404. As of today 27+ days, my site has 486 hours usage, during 
the time frame for this hits, was 214.
That raised my bill by US$0.95, is not much but since I do not have traffic 
on my site I usually pay nothing for it. Of course, if I had more traffic, 
I wouldn't have noticed this.
It was only for close to 6 days if it was to be more frequent is just 
raising the bill for nothing.

How can you protect against this?

Best Regards

[google-appengine] Unknown project in GCP Console

[Guanaco Devs]

Hi there.

I have noticed recently that I have in my GCP console 2 projects that I did 
not create and I guess came with the account. I have been using GCP for the 
last 4 years, was at the time of installing the gcloud-sdk, that I noticed 
those 2 projects.

Since I'm not the owner, how do I removed them from my GCP Console?

One of the projects name is "you-can-see-this-project" and the other 
"brave-watch-x".

When I try to delete it with the gcloud command I get

`*ERROR: (gcloud.projects.delete) User [my-em...@gmail.com] does not have 
permission to access projects instance [you-can-see-this-project] (or it 
may not exist): The caller does not have permission*`

If I try in the GCP Console I do not have valid permissions to remove them.

I really want to get rid of those projects.


Best Regards

Edgard

[Guanaco Devs]

Hi Elliot

I have an android app that is built for the owner of a shop to sell its
products to their users, makes posts to social media, admins can make posts
and users can browse and buy, I'm going for the web app because in this day
and age if you have no web presence you really have nothing and I want to
manage(post, sales) the project from the android app.
All about web development for me(javascript, html & css) is very basic, but
I'm confident I can make it with the help of GPC.
My issue is exactly what you stated, "Google provides many ways", should I
start with GAE and later move to another product like Containers(of which
I'm blank) or VM's once I get more knowledge?.

My issue here is were to deploy it to get started, rather than how to build
it.

Thank You & Best Regards

[google-appengine] Need help tracing a road map in GCP for python web app deployment

[Guanaco Devs]

Hi, First of all sorry if this is not the right place to post this, but I 
really need some guidance.

I want to build a web app with python and deploy it using GCP. My web app 
will be for e-commerce, I want to build it from scratch and plan to 
maintain it for as long as I live.
Due to the broad range of products in GCP I really don't know how to start, 
for instance "Flask vs. Django"(I'm already building my app with Flask). 
Then is, where or how to deploy it?, not the procedure, but the GCP product 
that might be a good fit for my needs.

I started with Firebase for Android and I'm quite familiar with all the 
"Development" products of Firebase I use them across my released apps with 
a 100% satisfaction, that's why I want to use Firestore/RTDB, Storage and 
Firebase Auth. Tried Wordpress(mostly to make the html and css easier for 
me) but drop it, because I felt that there were so many things out of my 
control and I did not find a way to integrate my Firebase knowledge with 
wordpress.

Thanks to my Firebase experience I learned basic python, javascript for my 
functions and have a good amount of bash scripts that help me maintain the 
backend for my products, without having to be in front of the computer and 
got to get familliar with `gcloud` and the cloud console.

Yet I fail to find what product is the best for me to deploy a python web 
app, should I go GAE, get a VM, Kubernetes, cloud run, is just so many 
products that I believe are good.

Best Regards
Edgard

[google-appengine] Re: Get the data from a document in Firestore as dictionary

[Guanaco Devs]

Thank you George.
Sorry, I thought Python functions were part of the platform and its 
services.
I did ask before in SO with the provided link since I didn't get any 
pointer there I thought that I could do it here.
What I'm looking is for the equivalent 
doc.to_dict()
for a event, something maybe like event.to_dict()

Best Regrds

[google-appengine] Get the data from a document in Firestore as dictionary

[Guanaco Devs]

When triggering a Python function for Firestore the data of the document 
comes whithin the event in the form of:
{
'value': {
'fields': {
'count': {
'integerValue': '0'
},
'verified': {
'booleanValue': False
},
'user': {
'stringValue': 'Matt'
}
}
}
}
Is there a Firestore function to convert the 'fields' key to a dictionary 
like:

{
'count': 0,
'verified': False,
'user': 'Matt',
}
When using JavaScript Functions one can get the data from the event as 
properties, is there something in Firestore likewise.
According to the answers in this 

 
question in SO, my best bet is to get the data straight from Firestore 
instead of writing some extra lines of code.

Best Regards
Edgard
