In this chapter, we learned how to write serverless applications that will run on the Google Cloud Platform using Node.js. We learned about creating Google Cloud Functions using two methods namely The Google Cloud Console and Local workstation. In the Google Cloud Console we learned how to create a Google Cloud Function and how to create an HTTP type of Google Cloud Function. We also learned how to test the Google Cloud Function through the console and also using Postman and how to view logs for the Google Cloud Function. In Local workstation we learned how to create a Google Cloud Function on your local workstation and how to deploy a Google Cloud Function on your local workstation to the Google Cloud Platform using the gcloud CLI
In the next chapter, I will walk you through a reference architecture for a serverless web application that runs on AWS.
