Growing your Cloud application
summary
Quick practical checklist for a growing cloud app: install the Google Cloud mobile app so alerts reach phones, use Cloud Monitoring and automated alerts rather than dashboards, prefer serverless compute Cloud Functions → Cloud Run → App Engine to avoid VM ops, add robust end-to-end tests (no single recommended product yet), track behavior with Google Analytics, Firebase Crashlytics or LogRocket, automate and actually restore backups, avoid storing PII with Firebase auth, use feature flags and 1% canary rollouts, and note a real incident where thousands of prod accounts were accidentally deleted without proper IAM.
