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.

This blog post serves as a thought experiment, delving into potential solutions for a pattern I have noticed on projects throughout my career. As a consultant, I work with many companies, each with unique ways of organizing and handling software development. However, throughout my career at Keyhole and elsewhere, I’ve noticed something that seems to be consistent across all dev teams: the existence of legacy code.

Legacy code can be frustrating and time-consuming to work with, so I used AI to create a solution to mitigate the hassle. While other solutions may already exist (and some may be more efficient), I found the process of creating this tool expanded my understanding; it really helped me grow as an engineer.

So, I’m using this blog post to share my process with you! Let’s dive into how AI can assist in improving application design (specifically legacy code) through automation.
