Summary

Now that we have discussed what cloud computing is, and its implications, types, ways of handling data on the cloud, use cases that determine those methods, real-world applications, and considerations to make the right choice for your data requirements, you should be in a better position to design a robust, scalable, and cost-efficient cloud database infrastructure that meets the needs of your applications and users. However, before that, you should learn about the various data formats, the different types databases to handle that data and the real-world applications, hands-on. The following chapter is a short introduction to structured data, its database design considerations, its applications, and the Google Cloud options with real world use-cases and hands-on implementations that inform your design.
