Building Event-Driven Applications with Eventarc on Google Cloud

Modern cloud architectures rely on asynchronous, loosely coupled systems to remain scalable and resilient. This text-based course introduces you to Eventarc, the key service for routing events from various sources to Google Cloud destinations. You will transition from understanding basic cloud concepts to designing, configuring, and securing production-ready event-driven applications. Through clear written explanations, structured code snippets, and architectural walkthroughs, you will learn to connect services seamlessly with minimal operational overhead. What you'll learn: - Understand foundational event-driven concepts, terminology, and routing mechanisms. - Configure Eventarc triggers to route events from Cloud Storage, Pub/Sub, and databases. - Secure event destinations using proper IAM roles and least-privilege permissions. - Deploy serverless targets like Cloud Run and Cloud Functions to process incoming events. - Implement basic infrastructure-as-code patterns to define triggers programmatically. - Monitor and debug event delivery using cloud logging and observability tools. The course starts with essential definitions and core eventing patterns before guiding you through step-by-step configurations for routing, security, and modern deployment practices. This course is designed for beginner cloud developers, system administrators, and architects looking to adopt event-driven designs; no prior experience with Eventarc is required.
