Deploy Serverless Python Apps with Docker and Cloud Run

Ready to share your Python projects with the world but feel intimidated by server management? This course demystifies cloud deployment by teaching you modern, serverless techniques. By the end of this course, you will have the practical skills to take a Python web application, package it into a standard Docker container, and deploy it to a highly scalable, pay-as-you-go serverless environment. You'll understand the end-to-end process for building and launching cloud-native applications professionally. What you'll learn: - Build production-ready Docker containers for your Python web applications using a Dockerfile. - Store and manage your container images in a private, secure cloud registry. - Configure a simple, automated CI/CD pipeline using Cloud Build to test and package your code. - Deploy and run your containerized application on a serverless platform like Cloud Run. - Understand the fundamentals of Infrastructure as Code (IaC) to manage cloud resources declaratively. - Practice securely managing application secrets, such as API keys and database credentials. - Learn to read application logs and monitor the health of your deployed service. The course starts with the foundational concepts of containers and serverless computing. From there, we'll guide you through each step of the deployment process with clear, text-based explanations and practical exercises. This course is designed for beginners. No prior experience with Docker or cloud platforms is required, though a basic familiarity with Python will be beneficial. Start learning how to deploy your applications with confidence today.
