Do you need help migrating to the cloud? minimizing risk? reducing complexity? or improving operational efficiency? 

Then join us on January 27th for the first session in our Architecture Framework Ask Me Anything series. Each session will focus on a specific topic related to the best practices and guidance outlined in the Google Cloud Architecture Framework, with an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers live from Googlers and technical experts. 

Our first session is dedicated to the System Design Pillar of the Architecture Framework, including:

  • An introduction to system design

  • Core system design principles

  • Practical ways to apply system design principles

  • Open Q&A 

Save your spot by selecting the "Yes" button on the right, and ask your questions in advance by posting a comment below. With this new series, it's our goal to provide a trusted space where you can receive support and guidance along your cloud journey. We hope to see you there!

Hi! I am really glad that Architecture Framework is getting more attention and some traction nowadays. At the end, in today’s multicloud world, majority of vendor-specific managed service offerings are quite similar and what makes a difference is how we can put all those pieces together into a well-architectured system.

It’s good to see that under the System Design, most of the GCP core concepts/services are neatly covered. I might be missing one topic though – API Management. It could be interesting to pay some tribute to it under System Design, especially, taking into account the fact that we do have a number of different flavors available in GCP: Apigee Edge, Apigee Hybird, Apigee X, Cloud API Gateway and Cloud Endpoints.

Hi Alexey, Thank you for your valuable feedback, we are glad you find this document useful. 

You are right, it would be useful to add API Management sub-section and define their usage strategy. We will address this across all assets shortly! 

Feel free to let us know, if there are other things you would like to see as part of Architecture Framework. 😄

In particular, some focus on the overlap with the emerging use of Service Mesh would help too.  It's something that's disruptive to existing architectures on multiple layers.

Thank you so much for letting us know, I will have this addressed soon. 
Will try to address multi-cloud deployment patterns/considerations as well. 

Love the on-going feedback, please keep it coming. I will update when it goes live 😃

Thanks Omkar, sounds good! As @stainsb mentioned, would be also good to have it x-linked to service mesh concepts. Seems there are couple of references already like on the Compute page, though they look a bit shy and also still pointing to Istio pages instead of Anthos Service Mesh.

Hi @Alexey! I wanted to follow up on your comment regarding API Management as part of the Google Cloud Architecture Framework. We are hosting an Ask Me Anything session on this topic next week on January 10th, specifically focused on "managing the chaos of API sprawl with API Management" in the context of the Architecture Framework.

You can see the details, ask questions in advance, and sign up here. Hope to see you there!
