  • Bigtable vs. BigQuery

    At a high level, Bigtable is a NoSQL wide-column database. It’s optimized for low latency, large numbers of reads and writes, and maintaining performance at scale. Bigtable use cases are of a certain scale or throughput with strict latency requirements, such as IoT, AdTech, FinTech, and so on. If high throughput and low latency at scale are…

  • View the quotas for your project

    The Quotas & System Limits page displays a table with configurable columns. The Service and Quota columns provide general information about which quota is being described. For example, the Service might be Cloud Logging API and the Quota might be Log ingestion requests per minute. The Quota field also describes how the quota is evaluated. Rate quotas are evaluated per minute, per 100 seconds, or per day. Quotas without any…

  • Security is a layered approach

    Let’s see how Google Cloud provides capabilities across the various layers of security. Infrastructure Security Google’s stack builds security through progressive layers that deliver true defense in depth at scale. Google’s hardware infrastructure is custom-designed “from chip to chiller” to precisely meet specific requirements. Its software and OS are stripped-down, hardened versions of Linux. Titan…

  • Security Command Center

    Security Command Center is a native security and risk management platform for Google Cloud. Security Command Center continuously monitors your Google Cloud environment, allowing you to:

  • Service Account Best Practices

    Service accounts are a special type of account used by applications and services. Nonhuman access to Google Cloud APIs and services is usually done through service accounts.

  • Configuration of shared VPC

    The service projects do not have any network, and therefore they rely on the shared VPC configured in the host project to get IP addresses.

  • API Gateway

    Google API Gateway is a managed service that is intended to allow you to expose your APIs to the internet. It is a fully managed service that handles the scaling and load balancing of your APIs. It also provides several features such as authentication, rate limiting, and monitoring.

  • Cloud IAM best practices

    When using Cloud IAM, you should map IAM policies to functional identities using groups:

  • IAM Conditions

    IAM policies can also be bound to conditions based on resource and request attributes. This allows for the following use cases:
