Navigating GCP IAP: Local and Deployed Development with .NET and React

Zach Gardner .NET, API Development, Articles, Google Cloud Platform, React Leave a Comment

I’m currently working on several cloud-native projects hosted on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) that use .NET for the API and React for the UI. These projects rely on GCP’s Identity-Aware Proxy (IAP) to handle authentication, which occurs before any requests reach the Application Load Balancer or the application itself.

While GCP’s IAP offers robust security benefits, configuring a .NET and React application to work seamlessly with it—both locally during development and when deployed to a Cloud Run instance as a Docker container—proved to be more challenging than I expected. The available documentation and resources for this setup are sparse and often fragmented, making it difficult to piece together a clear solution.

This blog post is my way of sharing the lessons I’ve learned along the way. By outlining the steps and solutions that worked for me, I hope to save others from the trial and error I experienced and provide a clearer path for integrating GCP IAP with .NET and React applications.

In the post, I’ll be talking more about the map() function – how it differs from other common loops, exploring its optional second parameter, using mapping in the return statement, and tracking with keys. By the end, I hope you’ll have a clearer understanding of how the map() function can be useful in your React projects.

Please note, this post is geared toward React beginners and new coders. Veteran users may not glean as much from the content.
