This lab guides you through the process of deploying a scalable microservices application using Google Cloud's Cloud Run and GKE services. You'll learn to deploy containerized microservices, configure resource requirements, and implement effective autoscaling. Additionally, you'll expose your services via a secure API and integrate event-driven functionalities using Pub/Sub and Eventarc.
In this advanced lab, you will learn how to deploy a secure application using Cloud Run and configure it with Eventarc to respond to specific event triggers. You will ensure that the application manages and triggers events efficiently, implementing API security best practices. The lab will guide you through deploying and managing a new API version in Cloud Endpoints, maintaining backward compatibility while optimizing performance and costs. An important aspect is enhancing application reliability and scalability with Horizontal Pod Autoscaling and implementing containerization best practices on GKE.

In this advanced lab, you will build a fully functional, high-performance application deployed on Google Cloud Run. You'll integrate Cloud SQL for data storage and use IAM for security access control. The lab will teach you how to configure concurrency, instance settings, and request handling, along with enabling tracing and logging for monitoring application performance. This lab offers a practical scenario where your application must sustain a load of 1000 concurrent users while minimizing latency to under 200ms.
