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.

Transform Pub/Sub to Firestore Database in GCP
This year, the client I work with has started exploring the offerings in Google Cloud Platform (GCP) after investing years into the Microsoft Azure cloud. The opportunity has allowed me to explore a few new technologies that this post will cover and that you will hopefully find interesting.
In short, I was tasked with transforming Pub/Sub to Firestore Database in GCP. The scenario explored in this post takes an FHIR healthcare data feed, extracts telephone and email information, and then stores that in a Firestore database.
Part 3: Creating an FHIR API – Implementation Part B
This is Part 3 of our series on creating an FHIR API using Google Cloud’s offering. In the last installment, we began implementing an FHIR using GCP. We covered creating both the BigQuery resources and your FHIR repository resources. if you missed Part 1 and Part 2, be sure you go back to read those – they’re critical to understanding!
This time, we’re continuing the implementation. I’ll explain the authentication methods, and we’ll also tackle populating data in our FHIR repository.
