Database Administration in a Cloud Native World with Terraform at Tumelo
summary
Demonstrates using Terraform Postgres provider plus Go Cloud tunneling to manage managed Postgres instances over GCP IAM proxies so databases never need internet exposure. Shows a Terraform module that creates databases, roles, grants and schemas locally and then applies the same configuration to Cloud SQL, enabling a move from per-service instances to a single securely shared instance at Tumelo. Work is merged into the provider and the local-to-cloud workflow proves the approach, with live demo of create/import/apply.
