Why it matters
This is a direct, reproducible look at Google's AI Studio code-generation-to-deployment path, letting readers see firsthand what a 'vibe coded' app costs to generate and host once it leaves the demo and hits Cloud Run.
The tokenmaxxing angle
Three code labs in one two-hour session means three separate AI Studio generation runs per attendee -- a concrete, comparable data point on how generation-plus-Cloud-Run-hosting costs stack up for small AI-built apps in practice.
From the organizers
Hosted by GDG Chicago organizers Dan Baran, Joel Vasallo (Director, Platform Engineering), Jeremy Shore, and Amanda Rossi at TAG - The Aspen Group in Fulton Market; attendees complete three code labs in Google AI Studio and deploy via Cloud Run.
