Description
Developers want to build serverless microservices so they can create new content, reduce maintenance, scale easily, and deliver new features to users faster. In this course, Google Cloud Functions: Getting Started, you will learn the skills you need to create high-quality microservices that will enhance the experience of your app or website. First, you will set up a Google Cloud project, install the gcloud command line tools, and set up Google Cloud Functions on your local machine. Next, you will explore all of the different events your functions can respond to, including storage, PubSub, and HTTP triggers. Finally, you will dive into deploying the functions and see how everything integrates seamlessly into the Google Cloud Platform. When you’re finished with this course, you will have a solid understanding of Google Cloud Functions that will allow you to create and deploy your own microservices that will automatically scale with your users.

Hi everyone, my name is James Wilson, and welcome to my course, Google Cloud Functions: Getting Started. Serverless technologies are taking the developer world by storm. As a developer, you can push out your code quickly and know that it will scale. This course is going to teach you how to get started writing serverless code on the Google Cloud Platform. Some of the major topics that we will cover include working with all the cloud function types on the Google Cloud Platform, exploring the cloud functions dashboard on Google Cloud, building local functions with no JS, and managing and deploying functions with the G Cloud Command Line Interface Tool. By the end of this course, you'll know how to write, deploy, test, and maintain serverless functions on the Google Cloud Platform. We start with the basics, so no prior knowledge is necessary for this course. I hope you'll join me on this journey to learn serverless cloud functions with the Google Cloud Functions: Getting Started course at Pluralsight.
