GCP Production Patterns

When to Use This Skill

Deploying containers to Cloud Run

Setting up Workload Identity Federation (no SA keys)

Configuring Cloud SQL with private IP

Writing Terraform for GCP infrastructure

Querying BigQuery for analytics

Core Principles

Cloud Run for stateless services — autoscales to 0, no cluster management, pay per request

Workload Identity Federation, never SA keys — SA keys are persistent credentials; WIF is token-based and short-lived

Private IP for all data services — Cloud SQL, Memorystore: no public IP, accessed via VPC

IAM bindings on resources, not members — bind roles to service accounts scoped to specific resources

BigQuery for analytics over Cloud SQL — even 1B row aggregations run in <10 seconds on BigQuery

References available

references/compute-patterns.md — Cloud Run Terraform, Workload Identity Federation for GitHub Actions, IAM least privilege bindings

references/data-patterns.md — Cloud SQL private IP, Memorystore Redis, BigQuery partitioning and clustering, Secret Manager
