Migration Pitfalls, Best Practices, and Useful Tips

Congratulations on making it to the last chapter of the book! I thought it would be a good idea to use these last few pages to summarize interesting content that can save you a lot of effort and bad times whenever you need to migrate or redesign an application to run on Google Cloud.

In this chapter, we will first discuss the most common pitfalls that can occur during our daily work as developers. Then, we will look at the process from a different angle and talk about best practices that can help us succeed in our migrations.

Both parts of the chapter will also contain some useful tips that will help you overcome obstacles, successfully face delicate situations, and mitigate the complexity that migrations to the cloud usually entail.

We will cover the following topics in this chapter:

• Common pitfalls while moving to the cloud
• Best practices for bringing your code to Google Cloud
