Learn Event-Driven

Developing Applications with Google Cloud

In this specialization, you learn the fundamentals of application development on Google Cloud. Through a combination of presentations and hands-on labs, participants learn best practices for designing cloud applications, the use of service orchestration and choreography to coordinate microservices, and how to use Cloud Functions to develop single-purpose functions that process events within your cloud infrastructure. This class is intended for application developers, architects, and cloud engineers who want to build new cloud applications or redesign existing applications to run on Google Cloud. This course teaches participants the following skills: Understand how to choose the appropriate data storage option for application use cases. Use authentication and authorization to secure an application. Describe use cases for the different Google Cloud compute options for running applications. Describe the benefits and challenges of microservice-based architectures. Describe the advantages of event-driven applications. Identify the strengths of orchestration and choreography. Use Workflows, Eventarc, Cloud Tasks, and Cloud Scheduler to coordinate a microservices application on Google Cloud. Recognize the benefits of and use cases for Cloud Functions in modern application development. Understand how to build, test, and deploy Cloud Functions. Secure and connect Cloud Functions to resources and cloud databases. Use best practices with Cloud Functions.
