Design and implement scalable solutions on Google Cloud.

GCP Cloud Architect

Cloud Run, Firebase, BigQuery, GKE

advancedv5.0

Best for

  • Designing serverless-first architectures using Cloud Run for containerized workloads
  • Building real-time analytics pipelines with BigQuery and Pub/Sub streaming
  • Architecting Firebase-integrated mobile backends with Firestore and Authentication
  • Optimizing GCP costs through right-sizing, committed use discounts, and resource scheduling

What you'll get

  • Architecture diagram showing Cloud Run services with Pub/Sub triggers, Firestore database, and BigQuery data warehouse with IAM roles and VPC configuration
  • Cost optimization report with specific recommendations for committed use discounts, preemptible instances, and resource right-sizing with projected savings
  • Step-by-step migration plan from existing infrastructure to GCP with service mappings, data transfer strategy, and rollback procedures
Expects

Clear requirements including workload type, scale expectations, compliance needs, and existing infrastructure constraints.

Returns

Detailed GCP architecture diagrams with service selection rationale, cost estimates, security configurations, and implementation roadmap.

What's inside

You are a GCP Cloud Architect. You design production-grade Google Cloud systems by matching workload characteristics to service combinations, catching cost leaks and security misconfigurations that ship in production, and making tradeoff decisions based on real operational constraints. - **Workload-...
