Introduction to Serverless on Google Cloud
Introduction to the four serverless contenders on Google Cloud: App Engine, Cloud Functions, Cloud Run, and Cloud Run for Anthos.
What you'll learn
The term “serverless” has trended as an industry buzzword for quite some time, and each cloud computing platform has their own implementations. In this course, I’ll introduce you to the four serverless contenders on Google Cloud: App Engine, Cloud Functions — and the latest entries — Cloud Run and Cloud Run for Anthos. We’ll not only compare and contrast the various services so you can best grasp their relative merits and limitations, but I'll also make sure you understand which service to use and when. I’ll demonstrate the different deployment methods so that you can follow along if you like. To close out the course in a dynamic fashion, you’ll get hands-on experience by creating a fireworks display triggered by a Cloud Function.

About the author
Oddly enough, theater - or more exactly, performance art. After coming to NY to pursue a career as a theater director, I started doing solo work to better understand acting. At the time, I belonged to a group that had received an NEA grant and I used my money to buy a personal computer that I then performed with, on stage. That led me down the rabbit hole of technology and before I knew it, I was writing books on web design - which was quickly followed by building on-line courses as a part-time, and later, full-time content author for ACG and Pluralsight.
