Infrastructure Inventory Analysis
Current State (Before This Session)
Existing Resources:
- coditect-week1-pilot: Cloud SQL PostgreSQL (coditect-shared-db)
- Database: PostgreSQL 14
- Tier: db-custom-2-8192 (2 vCPU, 8GB RAM)
- Storage: 10GB SSD
- Cost: ~$120/month
Total Projects: 259 GCP projects Active Projects: 6 core platform projects Automated Projects: 250+ sys-* test projects (cleanup recommended)
Detailed Inventory
See: docs/gcp-infrastructure-inventory.md
Key Findings:
- No GKE clusters currently deployed
- No Citus database (using single PostgreSQL instance)
- No Redis cluster
- No Kubernetes infrastructure
- No monitoring stack
Recommendation: Current architecture suitable for dev/testing (0-10K tenants) but requires full stack deployment for production (1M+ tenants)
Cost Projections
Development Environment (Immediate)
| Resource | Configuration | Monthly Cost |
|---|---|---|
| GKE Cluster | 3 nodes, n1-standard-2 | $150 |
| Cloud SQL PostgreSQL | db-custom-4-16384 | $300 |
| Redis Cluster | 3 nodes, standard | $100 |
| Monitoring | Prometheus/Grafana on GKE | $50 |
| TOTAL DEV | $600/month |
Staging Environment (10K-50K tenants)
| Resource | Configuration | Monthly Cost |
|---|---|---|
| GKE Cluster | 6 nodes, n1-standard-4 | $500 |
| Citus Cluster | 1 coordinator + 3 workers | $2,000 |
| Redis Cluster | 6 nodes, HA enabled | $300 |
| Monitoring | Full stack | $200 |
| TOTAL STAGING | $3,000/month |
Production Environment (100K-1M+ tenants)
| Resource | Configuration | Monthly Cost |
|---|---|---|
| GKE Cluster | 20 nodes, n1-standard-8 | $5,000 |
| Citus Cluster | 1 coordinator + 20 workers | $40,000 |
| Redis Cluster | 10 nodes, HA + replicas | $1,000 |
| Monitoring | Enterprise stack | $500 |
| Networking | Global LB, Cloud CDN | $500 |
| TOTAL PRODUCTION | $47,000/month |
Optimization Opportunities:
- Committed Use Discounts: 37-57% savings
- Preemptible VMs: 60-91% savings (non-production)
- Sustained Use Discounts: Automatic 20-30% savings
Potential Savings: $15K-20K/month at production scale
Security Configuration
Network Security
Configured:
- ✅ VPC Access API enabled
- ✅ Service Networking API enabled (VPC peering)
- ⏸️ Private GKE cluster (pending infrastructure deployment)
- ⏸️ Firewall rules (pending Terraform modules)
Recommended Next Steps:
- Configure private GKE cluster (no public node IPs)
- Enable Binary Authorization for container signing
- Configure Cloud Armor for DDoS protection
- Setup VPC Service Controls
Identity & Access Management
Configured:
- ✅ 5 service accounts with least-privilege roles
- ✅ Workload Identity enabled (via GKE API)
- ✅ IAM policies configured
- ⏸️ Service account key rotation policy (manual for now)
Recommended Next Steps:
- Implement quarterly service account key rotation
- Enable audit logging for all IAM changes
- Configure resource hierarchy (organization, folders)
- Setup IAM conditions for time-based access
Data Protection
Configured:
- ✅ Secret Manager API enabled
- ✅ Cloud KMS available (included in enabled APIs)
- ⏸️ Encryption at rest (CMEK) - pending configuration
- ⏸️ Backup policies - pending Cloud SQL creation
Recommended Next Steps:
- Create customer-managed encryption keys (CMEK)
- Configure automated backup schedules
- Test backup restoration procedures
- Implement point-in-time recovery
Next Steps

- Plan migration to Citus when scaling beyond 10K tenants
- Implement logical replication for zero-downtime migration
Timeline:
- Now - Week 12: PostgreSQL (existing coditect-shared-db)
- Week 13-38: Citus staging deployment
- Week 39-64: Production Citus migration (blue-green)
Quick Start Commands
Verify Project Setup
# Switch to new project
gcloud config set project coditect-citus-prod
# Verify project
gcloud projects describe coditect-citus-prod
# List enabled APIs
gcloud services list --enabled
# List service accounts
gcloud iam service-accounts list
# Verify billing
gcloud billing projects describe coditect-citus-prod
Create Terraform Service Account Key
# Create key
gcloud iam service-accounts keys create terraform-key.json \
--iam-account=terraform@coditect-citus-prod.iam.gserviceaccount.com
# Move to secure location
mv terraform-key.json ~/.config/gcloud/keys/
# Set environment variable
export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS="$HOME/.config/gcloud/keys/terraform-key.json"
# Verify
gcloud auth application-default print-access-token
Initialize Terraform
# Navigate to Terraform directory
cd opentofu/environments/dev
# Copy example variables
cp terraform.tfvars.example terraform.tfvars
# Edit variables (set project_id, region, etc.)
nano terraform.tfvars
# Initialize Terraform
terraform init
# Plan infrastructure
terraform plan
# Apply (when ready)
terraform apply
Troubleshooting
Issue: "Permission denied" when using Terraform
Solution:
# Verify service account key is set
echo $GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS
# If empty, set it
export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS="$HOME/.config/gcloud/keys/terraform-key.json"
# Verify authentication
gcloud auth application-default print-access-token
Issue: "API not enabled" error
Solution:
# Check if API is enabled
gcloud services list --enabled | grep <api-name>
# Enable API if missing
gcloud services enable <api-name>.googleapis.com
Issue: "Billing not enabled" error
Solution:
# Verify billing
gcloud billing projects describe coditect-citus-prod
# If not enabled, link billing
gcloud billing projects link coditect-citus-prod \
