Through a combination of presentations, demos, and hands-on labs, you’ll learn how to use Google Cloud Platform services and pre-trained machine learning APIs to build secure, scalable, and intelligent cloud-native applications.

Designed for application developers, on this course we’ll share best practices for application development and using Cloud Datastore and Google Cloud Storage.

Jellyfish has recently been named a Google Cloud Specialisation Partner of the Year. This title recognises our commitment to provide world-leading Cloud-based Training solutions that help our clients succeed. This Developing Applications with Google Cloud Platform course is offered as a live Virtual Classroom or private training session and can be delivered at our own training centre in The Shard, London or any location of your choice.

Course overview

Who should attend:

This course is intended for Application developers who want to build cloud-native applications or redesign existing applications that will run on Google Cloud Platform. If you're looking at Google Cloud certification, it also forms part of our Professional Cloud Developer learning path.

Walk away with the ability to:

Use best practices for application development
Choose the appropriate data storage option for application data
Implement federated identity management
Develop loosely coupled application components or microservices
Integrate application components and data sources
Debug, trace, and monitor applications
Perform repeatable deployments with containers and deployment services
Choose the appropriate application runtime environment; use Google Kubernetes Engine as a runtime environment and later switch to a no-ops solution with Google App Engine Flex

Prerequisites

To get the most benefit from this course you should have completed Google Cloud Platform Fundamentals or have equivalent experience.

It’s recommended that you have a working knowledge of Node.js. You will need a basic proficiency with command-line tools and Linux operating system environments.
