What you'll learn

Modern applications rely heavily on Google Cloud services for data, storage, messaging, and API access. In this course, (GCP-PCD) Integrating Applications with Google Cloud Services, you’ll gain the ability to build applications that integrate reliably and securely with Google Cloud. First, you’ll explore how to connect applications to data and storage services such as Cloud SQL, Firestore, Cloud Storage, and Pub/Sub. Next, you’ll discover how to enable and consume Google Cloud APIs using client libraries, REST, and gRPC, while applying best practices like batching, pagination, caching, and error handling. Finally, you’ll learn how to troubleshoot and observe your applications using logs, metrics, tracing, error reporting, and Gemini Cloud Assist. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge needed to integrate applications with Google Cloud services and be prepared for this section of the Google Professional Cloud Developer certification.
