AI Powered Application Development on Google Cloud
This 2-3 hour Cloud Sparks session is a short, interactive introduction to AI-powered application development on Google Cloud.
In the AI Powered Application Development on Google Cloud session you will get a practical guide to “Vibe Coding”: shifting your focus from typing syntax by hand to directing AI and managing the logic. You will see how to use Gemini Code Assist for fast feature development inside the IDE, and the Gemini CLI Agent for larger, multi-file automation tasks, including agentic workflows for infrastructure-as-code.
You will learn intent-based prompting strategies, how to generate, refine and test code with Gemini Code Assist, how to run complex tasks with natural-language instructions, and how to take on the “Director” role by validating and securing AI-generated code through human-in-the-loop checks. The goal is to cut implementation time while keeping security and code quality standards high.
The session is aimed at software engineers who want to speed up the idea-to-code cycle, DevOps and SRE professionals who want to automate system tasks, and technical leads who want to introduce Vibe Coding workflows with proper guardrails. Basic familiarity with an IDE, terminal commands and basic web development is expected. Machine learning model architectures, model training and introductory programming syntax are not covered.
