Building Resilient Streaming Analytics Systems on Google Cloud (edX)

Processing streaming data is becoming increasingly popular as streaming enables businesses to get real-time metrics on business operations. This course covers how to build streaming data pipelines on Google Cloud. Pub/Sub is described for handling incoming streaming data. The course also covers how to apply aggregations and transformations to streaming data using Dataflow, and how to store processed records to BigQuery or Cloud Bigtable for analysis. Learners will get hands-on experience building streaming data pipeline components on Google Cloud using QwikLabs.
This course is part of the Google Cloud Data Engineer Learning Path Professional Certificate.

What you'll learn

• Interpret use-cases for real-time streaming analytics.
• Manage data events using the Pub/Sub asynchronous messaging service.
• Write streaming pipelines and run transformations where necessary.
• Interoperate Dataflow, BigQuery and Pub/Sub for real-time streaming and analysis
