Hands-On Serverless Computing with Google Cloud

By: Richard Rose

Overview of this book

Google Cloud's serverless platform allows organizations to scale fully managed solutions without worrying about the underlying infrastructure. With this book, you will learn how to design, develop, and deploy full stack serverless apps on Google Cloud. The book starts with a quick overview of the Google Cloud console, its features, user interface (UI), and capabilities. After getting to grips with the Google Cloud interface and its features, you will explore the core aspects of serverless products such as Cloud Run, Cloud Functions and App Engine. You will also learn essential features such as version control, containerization, and identity and access management with the help of real-world use cases. Later, you will understand how to incorporate continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) techniques for serverless applications. Toward the concluding chapters, you will get to grips with how key technologies such as Knative enable Cloud Run to be hosted on multiple platforms including Kubernetes and VMware. By the end of this book, you will have become proficient in confidently developing, managing, and deploying containerized applications on Google Cloud.

Developing the lab solution

Several advanced topics will be covered in this chapter; so, having worked through the examples presented in prior chapters is highly recommended. Over the course of the previous chapters, knowledge of Google Cloud and its serverless product portfolio has been presented in order to guide you on this journey.


Using your Google Cloud account, open the Cloud Shell and make sure that a clone of the lab repository for Chap12 is accessible.

Unlike the earlier chapters, some activities will not be covered in detail. Instead, this chapter is devoted to bringing together a skeleton solution that illustrates how to construct an application to meet requirements. If you get stuck or need help, don't forget that you can consult the solution directory.
