I’ve published an article on the Google Cloud Blog about the leader election and distributed consensus concepts, where they’re useful and why they are non-trivial problems. The artice shows you how to implement your own distributed lock easily by using Google Cloud Storage and the consistency guarantees it provides. Read on cloud.google.com

After my previous article showing how to build a Google Cloud HTTPS Load Balancer step-by-step from ground up, this time I’m announcing a new official GCP Terraform module that I’ve developed to abstract this away from developers. This module works with Cloud Run, Cloud Functions (GCF) and App Engine (GAE) services. Read on cloud.google.com

I’ve published an article titled “Serverless load balancing with Terraform: The hard way” on the Google Cloud blog that details building an HTTPS load balancer with automatic TLS certs for a Cloud Run service. In doing so, I’ve realized this experience is fairly complicated, and started preparing a new Terraform module to make this easier. Read on cloud.google.com

Two years ago I have developed grpc_health_probe out of a real necessity: there was no way to health check gRPC applications in an idiomatic and standardized way on Kubernetes. Fast forward two years, the tool has been downloaded over 1.8 million times and used internally at Google as well as externally in many companies. It has raised awareness around gRPC’s builtin health protocol. I wrote about it on Google Cloud blog. Read on cloud.google.com

I’ve published an article on the Google Cloud blog detailing how to write and deploy custom middleware (such as serverless-registry-proxy) to customize the behavior of gcr.io for tasks like serving a public Docker Registry on a custom domain name. Read on cloud.google.com

I’ve published a deep dive article on Google Cloud Blog about a new Cloud Run feature we’ve been working that adds “graceful termination” support to the serverless containers using the SIGTERM signal —just like Kubernetes does. Read on cloud.google.com

I’ve posted an announcement on Google Cloud Blog about a new Cloud Run feature we’ve been working that adds server-side streaming support for serverless containers. Read on cloud.google.com

In an earlier article, I have explained that Cloud Run implements the Knative API. In this post I’ll show you how to use Cloud Run’s client libraries in Go to make API calls to Knative clusters (on Google or not) with code samples. (I’m guessing only like 10 people will ever need this, 9 of them probably at Google, but here we go). Read More →
