A private training session for your team. Groups can be of any size, at a location of your choice including our training centres.

This course will teach you about fault handling, and how to share logic between proxies. You’ll learn about traffic management and caching, how to create a developer portal, and how to publish your API to the portal.

The session will cover logging and analytics, as well as CI / CD and the different deployment models supported by Apigee. Through a combination of lectures, hands-on labs, and supplemental materials, you will learn how to design, build, secure, deploy, and manage API solutions using Google Cloud's Apigee API Platform.

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.
