Preface

There has been a significant buzz surrounding the world of serverless and the vast potential it brings to a new generation of developers. In Hands-On Serverless Computing with Google Cloud, we focus on the three serverless platforms offered by Google Cloud: App Engine, Cloud Functions, and Cloud Run. Each section will provide a high-level introduction to the product and outline the main attributes of each technology. At the end of the book, two case studies are presented to illustrate the power of serverless. The aim of these case studies is to demonstrate how to manage serverless workloads on Google Cloud.

Google Cloud Platform for Architects

Google Cloud Platform for Architects

The Google Cloud Platform is fast emerging as a leading public cloud provider. The GCP, as it is popularly known, is backed by Google's awe-inspiring engineering expertise and infrastructure and is able to draw upon the goodwill and respect that Google has come to enjoy. The GCP is one of a handful of public cloud providers to offer the full range of cloud computing services, ranging from IaaS (Infrastructure-as-a-Service) to PaaS (Platform-as-a-Service). There is another reason the GCP is fast gaining popularity; genre-defining technologies such as TensorFlow and Kubernetes originated at Google before being open-sourced, and the GCP is a natural choice of cloud on which to run them. If you are a cloud professional today, time spent on mastering the GCP is likely to be an excellent investment.
