Book Description

As more organizations embrace cloud computing, developers new to the cloud often feel overwhelmed by cloud migration and code running directly on the cloud. Google Cloud for Developers comes packed with practical tips and expert advice to accelerate your application development journey and help you unlock the full potential of cloud computing.

You’ll begin by understanding and comparing all the available options to run your code. You’ll write, deploy, monitor, and troubleshoot your code without leaving the Google Cloud IDE while selecting the best option – serverless or GKE containers – for each use case. After that, you’ll get to grips with the basic Google Cloud infrastructure services and connect your code with public APIs. This will help you add features to your application, such as language translation and object detection in images or videos. Furthermore, you’ll explore a comprehensive list of tips and best practices to make your migration smooth. You’ll also gain the necessary knowledge to write code from scratch, by employing the basics of hybrid cloud applications and build services that can run virtually anywhere.

By the end of this book, you’ll be well equipped to carry out the application development process and successfully move your code to Google Cloud.
