What does it take to run applications that stay fast, reliable, and ready to scale? In this challenge, you’ll explore the pieces that make it possible—from designing databases with Cloud Spanner and connecting them to modern web apps, to managing deployments with Google Cloud Deploy. You’ll also learn networking basics, configure an Internal Application Load Balancer, and even create a no-code chat app with AppSheet to see how quickly ideas can turn into working applications.

Did you know that millions of teams use Google tools every day to meet, collaborate, and manage work—often without seeing the cloud doing the heavy lifting behind the scenes? This challenge brings together essential Google Workspace and Google Cloud basics in one smooth learning journey. You’ll start with familiar tools like Meet, Drive, and Sheets, then move into the fundamentals that power them—managing access with IAM, creating virtual machines, working in Cloud Shell with gcloud, and setting up reliable storage. Step by step, you’ll see how everyday work connects to the infrastructure that keeps everything running.
