I own a domain.com registered @ Google domains that points to a Google blog and I want to leave my name servers to Google’s default’s for now… but point a subdomain.domain.com to a development version of yii2… while I work through the tutorials, any advice on how to pursue that would be awesome!

It sounds like what you want to do is setup an A Record for your subdomain. If you wanted to direct yii2.domain.com to the IP address 1.1.1.1
| Domain | Record Type | IP Address |
|---|---|---|
| yii2 | A | 1.1.1.1 |
Google Domains seems to call these “resource records.” Take a look at this Google Domains help page. For a more general introduction to DNS, check out this tutorial:
