31 May 2024 - 31 May 2024 | Developing Applications with Cloud Functions on Google Cloud |
Description
In this course, you learn about Cloud Functions, Google's serverless, fully-managed functions as a service (FaaS) product. With Cloud Functions, you implement single-purpose functions that respond to HTTP requests and process events from your cloud infrastructure.
Audience and prerequisites
To get the most out of this course, participants should:
- Knowledge of Google Cloud console, gcloud CLI, and basic programming experience in Node.js or Python.
- Some understanding of other Google Cloud services that include Cloud Storage, and Pub/Sub.
- Understanding of HTTP, and experience with using HTTP client tools like curl.
- Completion of the Google Cloud Fundamentals: Core Infrastructure course is recommended.
Objectives
This course teaches participants the following skills:
- 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.
