Four topics that inspired Google Cloud Platform users in October

Posted by Alex Barrett, Editor, Google Cloud Platform Blog

Google Cloud Platform users are a generous bunch, sharing their insights about how best to use GCP through a regular stream of articles and blogs. We kept tabs on their output in the month of October, then sorted that unruly list down into four categories that are a good indicator of overall cloud adoption. Take a look; chances are that there’s a post in this list that answers your most pressing GCP question, or that will inspire you to take GCP in an entirely new direction.

Using BigQuery to analyze . . . everything
BigQuery has emerged as a great way to slice and dice data, and the blogosphere is rife with examples that will teach you how (and why).

Working with data (and databases) on GCP
So much data, so many different places to put it. From simple object-based archive, to high-performance distributed databases, the GCP community is using our storage and databases in all sorts of interesting ways.

Next-generation apps, the GCP way
More often than not, today’s developers organize into DevOps teams and build apps using microservices that communicate via APIs. Here are a few examples of how GCP plays in that world.
