## What it is
A collection of Java and Kotlin code samples demonstrating how to use Google Cloud Platform services, maintained by Google and referenced from cloud.google.com documentation. It covers topics like authentication, App Engine, AutoML, Vision, Video, and Translate APIs.

## Use cases
- learn how to call Google Cloud APIs from Java
- find example code for authenticating with Google Cloud in Java
- copy sample code for Vision or Translate APIs
- get started with App Engine using Java
- see best-practice examples for Cloud client libraries
- bootstrap a Kotlin app on Google Cloud

## When to choose
- you are building a Java or Kotlin application on Google Cloud and want working reference code
- you are following a cloud.google.com guide that links to these samples
- you want to see idiomatic usage of Google Cloud client libraries

## When to avoid
- you need a production-ready library rather than example code
- you use a language other than Java or Kotlin
- you need samples for non-Google cloud providers
