Thanks! This is a great solution but none of the tutorials/blogs I read on pre-signed uploads mentions it. Do you have links (or just keywords) to learn more? Will I need to add something like Cloud Pub/Sub to my stack? https:&#x

That reddit link was incredibly informative and worth reading. It finally explains why /r/bitcoin looks like such a meme-driven asylum. All the propaganda, censorship, astroturfing and fake news reminds me of how /r/The_

Dumb question, but can someone give me a summary of how you can implement this in webgl? I thought there are only vertex/fragment shaders and compute shaders aren't supported yet? Do you just pretend everything is pixel data?
