"Microservices" describes a software design pattern in which an application is a collection of loosely coupled services. These services are fine-grained, and can be individually maintained and scaled. The microservices architecture is ideal for the public cloud, with its focus on elastic scaling with on-demand resources. In this course, you will learn how to build Java applications using Spring Boot and Spring Cloud on Google Cloud. You'll use Spring Cloud Config to manage your application's configuration. You'll send and receive messages with Pub/Sub and Spring Integration. You'll also use Cloud SQL as a managed relational database for your Java applications, and learn how to migrate to Spanner, which is Google Cloud's globally-distributed strongly consistent database service. You'll also learn about tracing and debugging your Spring applications with Google Cloud Observability. To succeed in this course, you should be familiar with the Java programming language and building Java applications with tools such as Maven or Gradle. You should also have general knowledge of Google Cloud. >>> By enrolling in this course you agree to the Qwiklabs Terms of Service as set out in the FAQ and located at: https://qwiklabs.com/terms_of_service <<<

Hi everyone this course is prettiy good and intresting i recomended it.in addition i had some problems while i have learning this course but online supports helped me

Although useful, this class missed it's mark vs. my expectations. I was hoping to learn more specifics about Spring Boot but the emphasis was on integration with GCP.
SA
I would strongly recommend this course to those who wants to practice Cloud Native and DevOps. Excellent efforts done by Google Cloud and Coursera team.
JR
It's a truly amazing course, with each practice you learn something new and it makes you fall in love with cloud computing and the good GCP interface

I liked the hands on part of the course but wish there was more back up with content in the videos. The video portion of the class was too short.

Wrote my review on my personal blog: https://nmenego.github.io/2020/07/18/building-scalable-java-microservices-with-spring-boot-and-spring-cloud/

Sometimes Server was not responding. other than that course is good. Stackdriver Monitoring tool is different then what explained and cloud is little slow with the responses.

Learnt a lot about Google Cloud Platform and how can we use it our Java Application using Spring Boot which is the widely used Spring Framework
AR
The labs in this course are a fantastic introduction to both Google Cloud and Spring Boot - I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a place to start with either.

Such an amazing experience it was. Google Cloud has everything to develop robust microservices specially with Spring Boot that has made it more easy.
NM
Good course to get started with GCP. I feel we can reduce the waiting time of copying project everytime and storing it on local instance created
AR
This course was very insightful in understanding GCP APIs but it heavily relies on dependencies from Google instead of spring's own libraries.

You should warn users of this course that they will not be able to do the labs if they are auditing the course. Because nobody likes wasting time you know..
Labs consist only of copy pasting code into google cloud labs. No explanation, no challenge. Labs often not working as intended. I expected more coming from the google brand.
Althoug course is great for learning about GCP, very few info is provided about Spring boot itself. I was expecting to learn also about Spring boot, which I had to do myself becasue the course does not cover it, even the mos simplest info.
Also there are some labs not working due to kubernetes unssoported versions.
This course provides an overview about the GCP components and services nothing related to spring microservices.
Unfortunately in this course you won't learn much about neither Spring Boot nor Spring Cloud. You'll just learn the concepts by using the GCP platform but that's it.
A part from that, labs are interesting and well done.
Google Cloud, Kubernetes, Spring Boot, etc are cool exciting technologies themselves, but I don´t feel this course is worth the time and money.
In the first place, the lectures are bare boned and completely content devoid. They get to explain little more than what can be accomplished through a couple of web searches. Then there is the labs, which consist pretty much of dumb lists of steps to take, with no further explanation provided, and which pose no challenge at all. At least you get to fiddle around with the Qwiklabs thing, the Google Cloud Shell and the Google Cloud API manager, which are really cool... and that would be the only redeeming feature to be found here.
Moreover, the course is scheduled to be done in two weeks, but it can be easily completed in a couple of evenings (fiddling with the provided Spring App, the API manager, and all). Such is the lack of actual content this course provides. The icing of the cake comes when you get to the Qwiklabs introduction video, which has been borrowed from another course. Like, they haven´t even bothered to purposely make one for this course.
I bought this course to learn Microservices, but all I got to know is how to work with Google Cloud services. This is not what I bought the course for. I didn't ask for GCP console tool. Udemy courses are far better. Coursera never again.
I can't access to quicklabs
There is nothing to do here in the Audit mode. If you are not willing to pay, you won't get anything. Other courses, at leas you can grab some knowledge for free.
Beginning on the first order: export PROJECT_ID=$(gcloud config list --format 'value(core.project)') that asigns an empty value to the environment variables, many things are wrong on the course. The first 4 practices can be done with a some knowledge of shell and experience managing and installing (Im a 15 years experience engineer but after that chapter, any can be done. I contact Quicklabs support (Google) and they say that they downloaded and tested the complete course and everything works properly. Impossible!!
As someone else said before on the evaluation, you expect more quality form a paid course even further if it comes from Google.
Bad experience
Well the course title is VERY misleading, I feel deceived by Coursera. in this course you won't learn a single thing about Building Scalable Java Microservices with Spring Boot and Spring Cloud. Entire course is set of labs that you mindlessly follow by copying and pasting commands or scratches of code into GCP. I wanted to learn about Spring Boot and Spring Cloud and I learnt nothing.
Very disappointing. It's basicly a showcase for the google platform. I haven't learned anything new about Microservices and all Spring Boot examples are specificly for the google cloud platform.
Almost all labs malfunctioned at some point. I managed to complete just the first ones, after that it was a struggle. Getting your grades eventually means opening the lab, logging in, excepting terms and closing the lab again. Doing the assignment is optional. The assignment is merely a copy paste commands into the console by the way. Even my 10 year old son could make it to the end...
Absolutely not a course that should be on Coursera!
Working with Spanner Lab is not working which prevents you from finishing the course and taking the certificate . I reported the issues and sent multiple mails and no help was provided by coursera nor the google skills team . I wouldn't recommend this course if you want the certificate because you will not get it.
there isn't enough details around use of lab. and looks like lab is not enabled if you are auditing the course
I can't access the labs and neither Coursera nor Qwiklabs bother to help after I opened the support ticket.
You cannot complete any assignments or access the code without purchasing the upgrade. Bait and Switch.
LAB 3 ( Spanner) does work
Interesting, but are GCP LABS and does not teach spring framework
Чисто рекламный курс.
Many problems in execution.
