Microservice Orchestration and Choreography on Google Cloud

Modern cloud architectures rely on decoupled microservices that must communicate reliably and efficiently. Understanding how to coordinate these services is key to building scalable, resilient applications without creating tightly coupled bottlenecks. This text-based course guides you through the fundamental patterns of service orchestration and choreography on Google Cloud. You will learn how to design, implement, and manage event-driven workflows using key serverless tools, moving from basic architectural concepts to practical configurations. What you will learn: 1. Understand the core differences between service orchestration and choreography in cloud architectures. 2. Configure serverless workflows to coordinate complex, multi-step business processes. 3. Implement event-driven routing and asynchronous communication using Eventarc. 4. Manage rate-limiting and asynchronous execution queues with Cloud Tasks. 5. Schedule automated, recurring cloud events using Cloud Scheduler. 6. Apply modern observability and monitoring practices to track distributed transactions. The course starts with foundational definitions of event-driven design, comparing orchestration and choreography, before progressing through step-by-step written explanations and code configurations. This course is designed for beginner cloud developers, software engineers, and architects looking to learn microservice coordination, with no prior orchestration experience required.
