Designing Applications for Google Cloud Platform

Learn how to use Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and its services to design, build, and deploy applications. This book includes best practices, practical examples, and code snippets written in Java, making it a key resource for developers seeking hands-on experience with GCP. 

You'll begin with an introduction to GCP services and a review of what Java offers while developing applications for GCP.  Next, you'll be walked through how to set up Google App Engine, Google Storage Cloud, and Google Cloud SQL with use cases, as well as application development and deployment. As the book progresses, you'll be exposed to advanced GCP services, deploying and scaling applications on GCP services, and troubleshooting and optimization of Java applications on GCP. The book uses real-world examples to help you understand how GCP services can solve everyday problems.

After completing this book, you will understand Google Cloud Platform and its services, and will have the knowledge needed to design, build, and deploy your own applications on GCP using Java.

What You'll Learn

• Create a GCP project, configure authentication and authorization, and deploy a sample application.
• Use GCP services to solve common problems and apply them to real-world scenarios
• Implement GCP services such as Datastore, SQL, and Spanner
• Leverage GCP tools such as the SDK and Cloud Shell
