Recently I wrote a blog post that covered the newly released “help me code” feature in Google Cloud Monitoring, that used Gemini to help generate Synthetic Monitoring tests for your application.

Help me code feature in writing Synthetic Monitors in Google Cloud Monitoring

You can read the blog post here:

While the blog post covers the details on Synthetic Monitoring and a step by step guide to authoring them, you might prefer to do a focused codelab on the same.

Check out the codelab here:

The codelab helps you do the following:

  • You will deploy an API to Google Cloud Run, which will act as a basis for our service that we shall test.
  • You will then write a Synthetic Monitor, which is a feature of Cloud Monitoring.
  • You will use the Help Me Write feature to write the Synthetic Monitor.

Hope you enjoy the codelab. Do give me feedback, if possible.
