GCP

Google Cloud Platform — part of my cloud toolkit, used to provision Firebase projects for multi-flavor apps.

  • #cloud
  • #devops

Google Cloud Platform (GCP) is Google's public cloud, and the infrastructure underneath Firebase.

How I use it

My open-source Stores Helper includes a script that uses the gcloud and Firebase CLIs to create GCP projects, link billing, enable APIs and provision Firestore for each flavor of a white-label app. GCP otherwise sits in my toolkit next to AWS and Vercel, mostly through Firebase and the Google Gemini APIs.

Why it matters

Scripting cloud project setup makes multi-flavor apps reproducible: each brand gets an identical, correctly configured backend in minutes instead of a manual checklist in the console.

It is the same infrastructure-as-scripts approach I apply to store products and metadata.
