How we built a successful cloud-scale product with GCP
summary
Media365 is a PHP monolith serving Android/iOS clients with ~5 million installs and it runs on App Engine Flexible as Docker containers; custom Docker adds Ghostscript plus ImageMagick to generate PDF cover thumbnails. User data sits in Cloud SQL (managed MySQL/Postgres) with daily backups, ebooks live in Cloud Storage, and analytics go to BigQuery consumed via Data Studio. Auto-scaling triggers on CPU (default min two instances), a 502 outage from 0.6GB RAM is fixed by increasing instances to 1.6GB and the service stabilizes.
