Best Way to Start Learning Google Cloud for Data Engineering + AI/ML in 2025?

Hi everyone,

I'm currently exploring career opportunities in data engineering and AI/ML, and I want to build my skills using Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
I'm especially interested in hands-on learning paths that combine:

  • Data pipelines (BigQuery, Dataflow, Pub/Sub)
  • Machine learning tools (Vertex AI, AutoML, etc.)
  • Real-world use cases and projects
  • Certification guidance (like Professional Data Engineer or ML Engineer)

I’ve seen a lot of scattered resources online—Coursera, Qwiklabs, etc.—but it’s a bit overwhelming. I’d love to hear from this community:

  • What learning path or combination of tools helped you the most?
  • Are there any updated GCP learning tracks for 2025 you'd recommend?
  • How important are certifications right now in the GCP ecosystem?
  • Any tips for building a portfolio that highlights GCP data/ML skills?

Open to both beginner-friendly and advanced suggestions. Thanks in advance for sharing your insights—it really helps those of us just starting out.

Looking forward to hearing from you all!
