NodeJS and the Google Cloud Platform

Google Cloud Platform enables developers to build, test and deploy applications on Google’s highly-scalable and reliable infrastructure. Choose from computing, storage and application services for your web, mobile and backend solutions.

Compute Engine (https://cloud.google.com/products/compute-engine/) allows you to run High Performance virtual machines on Google's infrastructure. These VM's run stock standard distro's like Debian and CentOS.

With the newly released cloud SDK (https://developers.google.com/cloud/sdk/) managing your VM's along with all the services configured for your app is easy to manage and script.

Join to learn:
-> What the Google Cloud and Compute Engine is
-> What the Cloud SDK is and how to use it
-> Deploying your NodeJS apps on Google's infrastructure using Compute Engine and using the available services

Along with the walkthrough we will be handing out a code to use to get credit on the platform.
