Developing Applications with Cloud Functions on Google Cloud (DACFGC)

 

Course Overview

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.

Prerequisites

  • 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 (GCF-CI) course is recommended.

Course Objectives

  • 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.
