We connect application hosting and data services for your software to Google Cloud.
Google Cloud provides servers, managed databases, storage and strong data analytics tools, with regions in India. For businesses already on Google Workspace, it keeps billing and administration with a provider they know, and makes it easy to analyse business data alongside other Google sources.
What we build with it
- Application hosting
- Cloud storage for files and backups
- Data warehousing and analytics
- Managed database services
How it works
- We set up a Google Cloud project for your business, with separate environments where needed.
- The application and database are deployed in the chosen region, using managed services where they reduce upkeep.
- Files and backups are stored in Cloud Storage with access controlled by service accounts.
- Where analytics is needed, selected data is copied to a warehouse such as BigQuery for reporting.
Data exchanged
- Application and database data
- Stored files
- Analytics datasets
What is needed to set it up
- A Google Cloud project
- IAM roles following least privilege
- Region selection
Good to know
- Google Cloud bills your account by usage. Budgets and alerts help keep costs predictable.
- Service accounts give the application only the access it needs, rather than using a person's credentials.
- Security is shared: Google secures the platform, and your project configuration is secured by you and your developers.
- Automated backups should be restored as a test from time to time, so you know they work before you need them.
