Cloud platforms now sit at the center of business planning. Many teams compare AWS for its wide service range, Azure for its ties to Microsoft, and Google Cloud for its strength in data and AI. Each option has its own role depending on how your systems are built. In the next sections, we’ll show where these platforms differ and call …
Building Event-Driven Cloud Functions on Google Cloud Platform
Google Cloud Platform (GCP) offers developers and organizations the ability to create and deploy serverless Cloud Run functions. This code – whether it’s written in Node.js, Python, C#, or another language – can interact with other parts of GCP’s infrastructure. By default, the function is triggered by a basic HTTPS request. However, that is not our only option.
In this blog, we’ll introduce the concept of event-driven functions—a powerful way to automatically respond to changes across GCP services with minimal code. You’ll see how these functions can connect services like Cloud Storage, Firestore, and Pub/Sub, creating efficient workflows with less manual intervention…
Navigating GCP IAP: Local and Deployed Development with .NET and React
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.

Using Terraform to Create a Cloud Function on Google Cloud Platform
In this post, we will walk through using Terraform to create a Google Cloud function that triggers when a file is uploaded and outputs the file details in the log. This process has wide-ranging applications and could be beneficial in a few business environments, such as: Real-time data processing in an online shopping/e-commerce environment when a customer orders a product, …
