Book Description

As more organizations embrace cloud computing, developers new to the cloud often feel overwhelmed by cloud migration and code running directly on the cloud. Google Cloud for Developers comes packed with practical tips and expert advice to accelerate your application development journey and help you unlock the full potential of cloud computing.

You'll begin by understanding and comparing all the available options to run your code. You'll write, deploy, monitor, and troubleshoot your code without leaving the Google Cloud IDE while selecting the best option – serverless or GKE containers – for each use case. After that, you'll get to grips with the basic Google Cloud infrastructure services and connect your code with public APIs. This will help you add features to your application, such as language translation and object detection in images or videos. Furthermore, you'll explore a comprehensive list of tips and best practices to make your migration smooth. You'll also gain the necessary knowledge to write code from scratch, by employing the basics of hybrid cloud applications and build services that can run virtually anywhere.

By the end of this book, you'll be well equipped to carry out the application development process and successfully move your code to Google Cloud.

  • Understand how to write, run, and troubleshoot code on Google Cloud
  • Choose between serverless or GKE containers for running your code
  • Connect your code to Google Cloud services using public APIs
  • Migrate your code to Google Cloud flawlessly

    5.0 out of 5 stars The guide I wish I had when I started with GCP
    Reviewed in the United States on July 24, 2023
    As a beginner, for sure you are going to need a trustable guide on the best approach to start learning a new skill. In this case, I feel this book will be the right companion for you to begin this trip as a developer on the Google Cloud Platform.

    It starts with what I think is the best approach for learning this kind of technology: start by doing, fail fast, and fail safe. The very first chapter on content is about how to start doing things on GCP ("Starting to Develop on Google Cloud") and provides you direct hints on what to do in order to get your hands on practical things! this is definitely the approach!

    Once you are done with your gear/setup, you will follow with a sound introduction to the most relevant products as today, meeting serverless services, up to the robust kubernetes managed offering in GCP and its unique and revolutionary next step, that is Anthos. You will be also introduced to many complementary services on GCP in the next chapters, organized in a practical way more than a commercial or logical hierarchy (that is the usual way this contents are delivered).

    Finally, once you are ready on the elementary tools and be familiarised on most advanced complementary services, you are given an excellent compendium on best practices, architectural patterns, practical use-cases, and "do and do nots" based on practical experience.

    In the case you missed it, I started this review with trying to explain you this is a breaking and disruptive way to approach a new platform. Usually, you will find several and several of resources explaining you the context, the ideas and concepts, and just then, after a while, getting to work with the platform. This book maybe assumes a little background on some sort of compatible technology, but focuses on a practical way to learning by doing, as soon as possible.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Utilize this book to further expand your knowledge about GCP.
    Reviewed in the United States on July 24, 2023
    The book covers a wide range of subjects, from modern software development practices to executing serverless code and containerized apps. "Connecting the Dots - Building Hybrid Cloud Solutions That Can Run Anywhere" to the cloud computing's limitless potential. Not to mention the time-saving Google Cloud services and machine learning APIs, which added an entirely new level of capability.

    Google Cloud allows you to reach new heights in your development adventure, and this book will help you get there.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great material!
    Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2023
    The book is a great read, offering a concise guide to how to work in Google Cloud. The author's perspective is very narrow when it comes to how app developers can make use of the Google Cloud offerings to enhance their apps. Another interesting point you can find in this book is the Common pitfalls when migrating your app to Google Cloud. I mean fascinating because it is very common to see it happening, but only a few books of developer-focus have this included. Thanks to the author, he made an excellent book for developers.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A must-read for anyone who wants to build modern applications on Google Cloud
    Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2023
    Many books about cloud computing focus on the infrastructure, such as networking, IAM, and landing zones. However, this book takes a developer-centric approach to Google Cloud, which I find to be exceptionally valuable. In addition to covering the essential tools and services for building modern applications on Google Cloud, I also appreciate the emphasis on serverless and containers. This book is also very practical, with helpful code examples, architecture patterns, and best practices. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in Google Cloud, especially developers!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Informative for Google Cloud beginners as well as intermediate and higher
    Reviewed in the United States on July 20, 2023
    Very informative book for developers new to Google Cloud or developers new to cloud computing altogether. Part One of the book does a very good job of explaining cloud computing and various aspects and has a small section to give the user an example of Google Cloud before getting into the more robust parts in Part Two.
