Developing Applications with Google Cloud

Skip to Scheduled Dates

Course Overview

Application development is evolving—and Google Cloud is leading the way. Over 70% of organizations now use cloud-native platforms to accelerate delivery and scale efficiently. The Developing Applications with Google Cloud training course gives application developers the skills to build secure, scalable cloud applications using Google Cloud Platform services.

In this 3-day instructor-led training, you'll explore best practices for modern application development, from choosing the right compute and cloud storage options to securing APIs with proper authentication and leveraging generative AI capabilities. Through hands-on labs, you’ll gain experience designing, deploying, and orchestrating microservices using services like Cloud Functions, Eventarc, Cloud Tasks, and Workflows. You’ll also learn to build applications that scale across cloud infrastructure using continuous integration and deployment pipelines.

Who Should Attend

Application developers, architects, and cloud engineers.
