Developing Solutions for Google Cloud Platform (GO8326)

Learn the best practices for developing applications with Google Cloud Platform.

This three-day instructor-led course introduces you to concepts and best practices for developing applications with Google Cloud Platform. Through a combination of presentations, demos and hands-on labs, you will learn how to develop cloud-based applications using Google App Engine Standard Environment, Google Cloud Datastore, Google Cloud Endpoints, and Google Cloud Repositories.


Course Objectives

In this course you will learn:

  • Build scalable and reliable applications using Google App Engine Standard Environment
  • Leverage Google Cloud Endpoints to implement,deploy, and manage API backends
  • Create microservice-based applications using App Engine services
  • Manage application security, versioning, deployment, and monitoring
  • Store application data, optimize query performance, and use transactions in Google Cloud Datastore
  • Provide improved performance and capacity with Memcache and instance scaling


Target Audience

Experienced application developers who want to learn how to migrate applications to the cloud or to create native, cloud-based applications on Google Cloud App Engine.
