I'm planning on generating a contract and invoice (populating a template with the data from either the AngularJS object or the new Cloudant object) when a user registers him/herself through an AngularJS app.
I've not been able to find an example of such thing using Google Docs.
Any comment on if this would be even possible?
i havent tried it but expect it would be possible. you should be able to take the data from either Cloudant or directly from the form users fill out and upload it using the Google API

I want to host a clean, branded site that allows users to submit data which I will post process on some regular cadence and send custom emails based on data processing results. I can write code and have extensive experience with AWS, but am looking for the fastest solution.
Any experienced web developers have suggestions of which hosting solution to use? Wix, Squarespace, WordPress. I would prefer Squarespace but am not finding clear documentation stating I can create a form which writes to a database (I.e. DynamoDB, Redshift).
Any suggestions would be great! Thanks!
Having a good deal of experience with Squarespace, I will address the question "Is it possible to connect a Squarespace form to a third-party database and, if so, by what means?". While I won't address Wix or Wordpress, hopefully it will provide some objective answers and provide some help to your larger context/question.
Squarespace doesn't support any server-side code; it only supports supports the addition of HTML, CSS and Javascript within Code Injection, Code Blocks, and Developer Mode.
Therefore, your options are:
Send the data client-side with JavaScript. Write your own HTML form and insert it via code block, markdown block, of developer mode. Then write the corresponding JavaScript to send the data, on submit, to your external database. Alternatively, use a Squarespace form block, prevent the default submission from executing and use your own methods instead.
Connect the Squarespace form block to a Google Sheet and the sheet to the external DB via Apps Script. Once connected, use Apps Script (set to trigger when a row is added to the sheet) to obtain the submission from the sheet and send it to your external database (similar to this or this, but you'll be going "the other way", sending data to the external DB from Apps Script).
Use Zapier (or similar service) to bridge the gap, either using Squarespace's built-in integration or setting up Zapier on your own and setting the Zapier email address as the email recipient. You can use Zapier to send form submissions to a new item in DynamoDB, for example. It appears that, at a minimum, you'd have to pay for Zapier as that is a "Premium Integration". For Squarespace, if you were to use their built-in Zapier integration, you'll have to pay for a higher-cost plan (which could be avoided by using the email storage option instead, as mentioned previously).
I think you should choose WordPress, they have a huge documentation, a big community, you can get a ton of support from Wordpress's users when you run into a problem.
Okay so I’m need guidance on where to start.
What I want to do is upon clicking a button in my web app which will be labelled “search” the web app will connect to my realism database and search the data base for the “search criteria” and the once found all matching cases it will create div blocks with the information inside it, in a list view and assign the ID of the div to the UID it gets back from the database.
database:
Users
--> Country
---->State
----->City
------>Post/ZipCode
------->UID
--------> Users informantion
Welcome to StackOverflow!
A great place to get started is the Firebase Realtime Database doocumentation or searching for Firecasts on YouTube (linked below).
As requested, here are some questions to ask yourself to get started and help scope out and define your new Firebase project.
What language are you going to use?
Are you planning on using any frameworks/libraries? e.g. For Javascript, these would include things like jQuery, Polymer, and React
What information are you storing in your database? e.g. user profiles, private user data/settings, public indexes, username lists, etc.
How is your database structured?
What data is being searched? The entire database? Values in a certain location?
What data needs to be displayed in your view?
Is the data accessible for just the current user or is it a public database that anyone can use?
What search criteria will be used? Is it just one filter at a time or many?
The answers to these questions aren't set in stone, but are to help you start thinking about the future of your project. They can be changed at any time as this isn't SQL where everything has to have its own schema.
If you intend on using "advanced searches" where you'll filter by multiple parameters at the same time, consider using Cloud Firestore instead.
I recommend looking at some Firecasts to help guide you through these questions. Here are some links to them:

I want to be able to manage users in contenful, every user has some data (files, text, etc) that should only be able te be accessed by this specific authenticated user.
In firebase for example this would be possible by using database rules, but would something similar be possible in contentful?
ps: I try to avoid writing custom backend for this.
As you say you would not like to write custom backend code.
If you are calling the Contentful API on the client side instead of a backend server calling Contentful, the Authorisation keys will be exposed allowing anyone to scan through all the Contentful User data.
It may not be the ideal CMS for your use case.
I'm experimenting with a simple web shop using Angular Fullstack (https://github.com/angular-fullstack/generator-angular-fullstack) with the authentication boilerplate.
What is the best way to accomplish this:
I want to be able to put data (orders) into the MongoDB from a form within a view – not restricted in any way (i.e. without the need of logging in with an account)
I do not want the orders to be visible through url/api/orders
I want to be able to view the orders from a view restricted to logged in admins
Should I create an endpoint, and then restrict this in some way? Or can I do this without an endpoint?
It's my first MEAN stack project, thanks in advance.
I want to make a form just like "Google Analytics Query Explorer 2" with some extra fields. Query generated with this form will be saved in DB and used to fetch Google Analytics periodically.
How can I create it in such a way that I can fetch all Accounts, Properties, Views and Ids directly from google on each onChange in these fields??
Very slow responding community. Ok, no need to answer I have done it somehow.
