Build, deploy, and scale a real-world web application using modern cloud tools in this comprehensive, hands-on course. You’ll begin by learning the fundamentals of Google Cloud Platform and understanding how cloud environments differ from traditional hosting. Step by step, you’ll set up your billing account, configure the gcloud CLI, and learn how to manage cloud resources efficiently like a professional developer.
The core of the course focuses on developing a fully functional blog application using Django. You’ll gain practical experience designing database models, creating dynamic views, working with templates, and implementing authentication systems. By following a structured, project-based approach, you’ll build a complete and production-ready web application from scratch.
Once your application is ready, you’ll take it to the next level by deploying it on Google App Engine. You’ll also integrate a managed database using Cloud SQL, configure environment settings for production, run database migrations, and handle static and media files correctly in a cloud environment.
