Over the course of this final chapter, we built an application to consume external information based on JSON. To our credit, we used a scalable and resilient mechanism to handle messaging so that retries occur seamlessly. We also learned how to incorporate Google Sheets to output information. A new technique like this has many applications and will prove useful time and time again. To complete our application, we also looked at developer productivity so that we can use tools such as Cloud Build when building multiple components.
Throughout this chapter, you have learned how to integrate with Google APIs, initiate Cloud Pub/Sub, and consume JSON information from external services. Learning how to aggregate services is part and parcel of working with serverless on Google Cloud. For example, achieving scalable application messaging is simple when using Cloud Pub/Sub. Each...
