Developing Applications with Google Cloud Training Outline

Learning Objectives

Best Practices for Application Development

• Design and develop secure, scalable, reliable, loosely coupled application components and microservices.
• Understand how to rearchitect applications for the cloud.

Getting Started with Google Cloud Development

• Identify different Google Cloud services for hosting applications and scripts

Overview of Data Storage Options

• Choose the appropriate data storage option for application data

Best Practices for Using Datastore

• Bulk-load data into Firestore by using Dataflow.
• Understand best practices related to queries, built in and composite indexes, inserting and deleting data (batch operations), and transactions error handling.

Performing Operations on Buckets and Objects

• Understand Cloud Storage concepts.
• Differentiate between strongly consistent and eventually consistent operations.
• Access Cloud Storage through request endpoints.
• Use object composition to upload an object in parallel.
• Use truncated exponential backoff to deal with network failures

Best Practices for Using Cloud Storage

• Understand how to name buckets for static websites and other uses, how to name objects (from an access distribution perspective, and performance considerations

Handling Authentication and Authorization

• Implement federated identity management

Using Pub/Sub to Integrate Components of Your Application

• Understand Pub/Sub topics, publishers, and subscribers.
• Understand pull and push subscriptions.
• Explore use cases for Pub/Sub

Adding Intelligence to Your Application

• Explore pre-trained machine learning APIs such as Cloud Vision API and Cloud Natural Language API

Using Cloud Functions for Event-Driven Processing

• Use Cloud Functions for event-driven processing

Deploying Applications

• Understand how to create and store container images. • Create repeatable deployments with deployment configuration and templates

Compute Options for Your Application

• Explore considerations for choosing a compute option for your application or service

Debugging, Monitoring, and Tuning Performance

• Debug an application error by using Cloud Debugger and Error Reporting.
• Use Cloud Monitoring and Cloud Trace to trace a request across services, observe, and optimize performance
