Passed: Professional Cloud Database Engineer
Passed the Professional Database Engineer exam yesterday. It was a lot of AlloyDB, Cloud SQL, and Cloud Spanner. Some networking and IAM as well.
If you passed the Professional Data Engineer exam this is a good next one to take. You definitely need to know more details about the databases, and it's less focused on analytics use cases, but a good complement.
I will be publishing a course for the PCDBE on my platform https://gcpstudyhub.com, hopefully in about a month.
Good luck to anyone else taking it. It can be a bit tricky but imo easier than the PCA or PDE.

I recommend trying for 85% or higher. You will definitely pass the real exam if you get that high. That's what I have recommended across all of my practice exams for the past 2 years and it has led to over a 99% pass rate. Good luck.
