Syllabus

WEEK 1
Introduction
Welcome to "Service Orchestration and Choreography on Google Cloud." This course introduces you to microservices, event-driven applications, and the use of service choreography and orchestration on Google Cloud. Through a combination of lectures, hands-on labs, and supplemental materials, you will learn about Google Cloud's services that enable application integration and service communication: Workflows, Eventarc, Cloud Tasks, and Cloud Scheduler.
Introduction to Microservices
This module introduces you to microservices and discusses the benefits and challenges of using a microservices architecture for your applications.
Event-Driven Applications
This module introduces events and event-driven applications and discusses the benefits of choosing an event-driven architecture for your microservices applications.

WEEK 2
Choreography and Orchestration
This module introduces two effective patterns for inter-service communication: choreography and orchestration. Eventarc uses the choreography pattern, which allows independent services to perform tasks when events are received. Workflows uses orchestration, and acts as a central orchestrator of the interactions between the services. You learn how Workflows, Eventarc, Cloud Tasks, and Cloud Scheduler can be used to build powerful microservices applications on Google Cloud.

Do you think an e-commerce application can be created as one large application? Imagine there is an ongoing sale, or some new features are to be added. How, according to you are the changes made visible on the application? Microservices is a cloud-based architectural approach. It contains loosely coupled, and independently deployable smaller services that are put together cohesively to develop and work on larger, and more complex applications.
