Reviews summary

Informative course on cloud application development

Learners say this course is informative and has a range of positive qualities, including: engaging assignments, helpful lectures, a realistic certificate, and supportive instructors. However, some students have experienced difficult exams.
Students appreciated the knowledge and experience of the instructors.
"Fue dicicil ya que en algunas de los laboratorios no eran claros como los anteriores, te acostmbras a que te digan exactamente donde y que. Con el paso de los capitulos fue mas facil."
"Generally a good course and covers a many important topics. The delivery is not great because the creators have relied a lot on automatic transcription without proofreading meaning that the text has hilarious transcriptions. For examples, I came across 'cereal' for 'serial' and many other. It wouldn't take much to do transcription and anyway the presenters were reading. Why not just copy and paste their scripts?"
"Sometimes, Qwilabs have problem on executing practice command and it took time to solve it. But all courses and classes are helpful to understand Google Cloud and application development on it."
"Some topics get lost in cut/paste mania. Perhaps we might have labs that are less point click copy paste and can still educate with experience of creating the desired programming result with less I/O? I'd be happy to try to help if you like."
Many learners found the content to be valuable and informative.
"Very good course from Google Cloud. The lectures and labs both are amazing."
"Very helpful to get a basic (emphasis) feel for some great tools gcp provides."
"Very informative."
"Great detailing into Google Cloud Operations suite including, Trace, Debugger and StackDriver etc with Hands-On."
Several learners complained about errors in Qwiklabs.
"Most of the labs in this course are broken."
"Qwiklabs had erros"
"Very helpful to get a basic (emphasis) feel for some great tools gcp provides."
"but some of the Qwiklabs are broken specially the ones with java."

Career center

Learners who complete App Deployment, Debugging, and Performance will develop knowledge and skills that may be useful to these careers:
Application Developer
Application Developers create applications that operate through the cloud. While you may assume that the ideal candidate is one with a computer science degree, this is not always the case. Businesses like Google Cloud know that the contributions of those with other backgrounds can be an important factor in innovation. Therefore, this course can be helpful in preparing you to enter this field by introducing you to core concepts such as how to deploy applications in Google Cloud, the various compute options available, and how to perform monitoring and performance tuning.
Cloud Architect
Cloud Architects design and build cloud-based solutions. They make choices about infrastructure, services, and security. This course can help you enter or advance your career in this field by teaching you how to deploy applications in Google Cloud, about the various compute options available, and how to perform monitoring and performance tuning. This course does not assume any computer science background.
DevOps Engineer
DevOps Engineers bridge the gap between software development and IT operations. As a DevOps Engineer, you are responsible for the design, deployment, and maintenance of cloud-based applications. This course can help you in this role by teaching you how to deploy applications in Google Cloud, about the various compute options available, and how to perform monitoring and performance tuning.
Software Development Engineer
Software Development Engineers apply the principles of software engineering to the design, development, deployment, and maintenance of software systems. This course can help you in this role by teaching you how to deploy applications in Google Cloud, about the various compute options available, and how to perform monitoring and performance tuning.
Site Reliability Engineer
Site Reliability Engineers ensure the reliability and performance of cloud-based applications. This course can help you in this role by teaching you how to perform monitoring and performance tuning. While this course does not directly teach you how to deploy applications in Google Cloud, this may be covered in your existing preparation.
Cloud Consultant
Cloud Consultants help businesses adopt and use cloud computing technologies. This course can help you in this role by teaching you about the various compute options available in Google Cloud and about the Google Cloud ecosystem as a whole. It may also be helpful to pursue additional training in cloud security.
Data Engineer
Data Engineers design, build, and maintain data pipelines and infrastructure. While they work closely with data scientists, they typically enter the field from a computer science background. However, experience with Google Cloud can be a major asset. Therefore, this course may be helpful to you as you progress in your career.
Network Architect
Network Architects design, build, and maintain computer networks. This course may be helpful to you in this role if you are working in a cloud environment. This course covers deploying applications in Google Cloud and the various compute options available. However, it does not cover networking fundamentals. Therefore, you will need to augment your studies with additional material.
Security Engineer
Security Engineers protect computer networks and systems from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, disruption, modification, or destruction. This course may be helpful to you in this role as you gain experience working with Google Cloud. However, this course does not directly focus on security concepts. Therefore, you will need to augment your studies with additional material.
Data Analyst
Data Analysts collect, clean, and analyze data to help businesses make informed decisions. While this course may be somewhat helpful because it teaches a bit about monitoring and performance tuning, most of the course content is not directly related to the role of data analyst. However, many people who work with data do also take on some SWE responsibilities, so it may still be a worthwhile course.
Product Manager
Product Managers oversee the development and launch of products. While this course may be somewhat helpful because it teaches a bit about monitoring and performance tuning, most of the course content is not directly related to the role of product manager.
Business Analyst
Business Analysts help businesses identify and solve problems. While this course may be somewhat helpful because it teaches a bit about monitoring and performance tuning, most of the course content is not directly related to the role of business analyst.
