Building Solutions with Apigee X
In this course you will go through the Apigee journey as a product lead for a new application. You will take roles on the development and security teams. You will take an API originally designed for an on-premises legacy application use and modernize it for the cloud using Apigee X. You will follow Google Cloud best practices alongside Apigee X to design a secure, scalable and resilient platform for your company's needs.
What you will learn
- Secure the backend of your legacy application using mutual TLS
- Design applications with an API first design using the OpenAPI specification
- Integrate your API proxy with the Cloud Data Loss Prevention (DLP) API
- Best practices for site reliability with Apigee using monitoring and logging
- Modernize application deployment using Cloud Run and Cloud Build
- Authentication using API Keys and Firebase Authentication with Apigee
- Harden APIs using Apigee Policies and Cloud Armor
- Mitigate external threats with reCAPTCHA Enterprise
- Leverage Apigee Analytics to show custom data capture and reporting
- Leverage Cloud Code in your development environment to locally emulate Apigee
- Use Apigee Integration to improve connectivity with other services in Google Cloud
Prerequisites
- Completion of the "Developing APIs with Google Cloud's Apigee API Platform” course or equivalent experience with Google Cloud and Apigee.

Quality Process
SFEIR Institute's commitment: an excellence approach to ensure the quality and success of all our training programs. Learn more about our quality approach
- Lectures / Theoretical Slides — Presentation of concepts using visual aids (PowerPoint, PDF).
- Technical Demonstration (Demos) — The instructor performs a task or procedure while students observe.
- Guided Labs — Guided practical exercises on software, hardware, or technical environments.
- Quiz / MCQ — Quick knowledge check (paper-based or digital via tools like Kahoot/Klaxoon).
The achievement of training objectives is evaluated at multiple levels to ensure quality:
- Continuous Knowledge Assessment : Verification of knowledge throughout the training via participatory methods (quizzes, practical exercises, case studies) under instructor supervision.
- Progress Measurement : Comparative self-assessment system including an initial diagnostic to determine the starting level, followed by a final evaluation to validate skills development.
- Quality Evaluation : End-of-session satisfaction questionnaire to measure the relevance and effectiveness of the training as perceived by participants.
