Hello I’m Timothy Jordan, and this is your update about the coolest developer news from Google in the last week.

Architecture Components 1.0 Stable

The Room and Lifecycle Architecture Components libraries have reached 1.0 stable, which means they are ready for production apps and libraries. These foundational components make it possible to write modular apps with less boilerplate code, so you can focus on innovating instead of reinventing the wheel. You can get started with the post.

Play Games Services APIs

In 11.6.0 of the Google Play Services SDK, we’re introducing a major change in the APIs meant to make them easier to use, thread-safe, and more memory efficient. We’ve deprecated the GoogleApiClient class, and introduced a decoupled collection of feature-specific API clients. All the details and sample code are on the post.

TensorFlow r1.4

TensorFlow 1.4 is now available. Included in the changes, both Keras and Datasets have graduated to core packages. For more details on these and other updates, check out the post.

Tangent: Source-to-Source Debuggable Derivatives

Tangent is a new, free, and open-source Python library for automatic differentiation. And it’s source-to-source system, consuming a Python function f and emitting a new Python function that computes the gradient of f. This allows much better user visibility into gradient computations, as well as easy user-level editing and debugging of gradients.

DNSSEC now in Cloud DNS

We’re excited to announce that we’re adding Domain Name System Security Extensions support to our fully managed Google Cloud DNS service. Now you and your users can take advantage of the protection provided by DNSSEC without having to maintain it once it’s set up. Screenshots are on the post.

Google Cloud Dataprep

Google Cloud Dataprep, which has been available to the public in a beta release for just a month, had its first public update on Thursday. Included is a fresh UI, job scheduling, and richer sampling options. Details for each are on the post.

Resonance Audio

We recently released a new spatial audio software development kit called Resonance Audio. It’s based on technology from Google’s VR Audio SDK, and it works at scale across mobile and desktop platforms. Links to the docs and GitHub are on the post.

Fast Pair

Fast Pair is a hassle-free process to pair your Bluetooth devices on all supported Android devices running Google Play services 11.7 and later with compatibility back to Marshmallow. Check out the post for an example of how it works.

Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL

We have added support for high availability and read replicas in Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL which will help you ensure your database workloads are fault tolerant. Diagrams and details are on the post.

GCP Mumbai region

The first Google Cloud Platform region in India is now open. Hosting applications in the new region can improve latency from 20–90% for end users in the area compared to hosting them in the closest in Singapore.

Eager Execution for TensorFlow

We recently introduced eager execution for TensorFlow. It’s an imperative, define-by-run interface where operations are executed immediately as they are called from Python. This makes it easier to get started with TensorFlow, and can make research and development more intuitive. Code and all the links are on the post.

Firebase Predictions Beta

Oh, and in case you missed it, Firebase Predictions is now available to build dynamic user groups based on predicted behavior, determined using a machine learned model. These user groups can then be targeted using Firebase Cloud Messaging, Remote Config and more. For more on how to use Firebase Predictions for your app, check out the post.
