Summary

The day concentrated entirely in cloud, moving from AWS hardening into a full GCP deployment track with Terraform, CI/CD, health-check fixes, and teardown-proofing documentation. Total changes: 31 unique files touched, +1385/-180 across 5 unique commits.

Content Signals

Strong: Building the same app across AWS and GCP created a concrete cross-cloud delivery story with real operational lessons. Rationale: The commits show a full arc from infrastructure hardening to new GCP provisioning, deploy automation, health-check debugging, and destroy-path fixes, which makes the tradeoffs and gotchas easy to explain with evidence.
Medium: Writing verification and teardown steps alongside infra changes is a strong "ship the runbook, not just the code" theme. Rationale: Multiple commits paired Terraform and workflow changes with README, comparison, and handoff updates, showing a repeatable way to reduce infrastructure drift and hidden operator knowledge.

cloud

Cloud shifted from locking down the AWS path to standing up and debugging a parallel GCP path, then finished by documenting the exact verification and teardown steps needed to keep both tracks operable.

e6b6d5cfb077 feat: GCP Terraform stack (Cloud Run + Cloud SQL + WIF); cross-cloud docs
- Time: 10:14 PM
- Branches:
  - main
  - origin
  - origin/main
- Changes: 17 files, +1006/-25
- Body:
  - Full terraform/gcp/ stack, terraform validate-clean: Artifact Registry,
  - Cloud SQL (+ random_password + Secret Manager), runtime SA, Cloud Run v2
  - (Cloud SQL connector socket, secret-backed DB_PASSWORD), Workload Identity
  - Federation CI/CD, outputs. Reuses the app's split DB_* contract unchanged.
  - Docs: COMPARISON.md (cross-cloud cheat sheet) and TERRAFORM_CICD.md
  - (state/locking, plan-on-PR + gated apply, environments, TACOS). HANDOFF.md
  - marks AWS CI/CD complete and GCP as the current front.

e5435c1d71aa fix: serve /health for Cloud Run (/healthz swallowed by GFE); GCP deploy workflow
- Time: 11:08 PM
- Branches:
  - main
  - origin
  - origin/main
- Changes: 4 files, +112/-1
- Body:
  - Cloud Run's front end returns 404 for /healthz without forwarding to the
  - container (proven via request logs - /healthz never arrives, siblings do);
  - /health does reach the app. Serve health on both paths so one image stays
  - healthy on Cloud Run and on the AWS ALB (whose target-group check uses /healthz).
  - Also: GCP deploy workflow (WIF, SHA-tagged image, gcloud run update), the
  - ignore_changes guard on the Cloud Run image, and COMPARISON.md gotchas
  - (/healthz interception + image chicken-and-egg).

15f5c096c318 fix(gcp): unblock terraform destroy; document verify apply/teardown steps
- Time: 11:29 PM
- Branches:
  - main
  - origin
  - origin/main
- Changes: 5 files, +76/-13
- Body:
  - Two GCP-only destroy blockers that silently leave the billing Cloud SQL
  - instance alive, now fixed in config:
  - - google_cloud_run_v2_service: deletion_protection = false (provider default
  - is true, which refuses destroy).
  - - google_sql_user: deletion_policy = "ABANDON" (Postgres won't DROP a role
  - that owns the app's tables; ABANDON lets the instance delete sweep it).
  - Docs: verify-apply and verify-teardown command blocks added to both terraform
  - READMEs (GCP uses /health not /healthz, notes the project_id requirement and
  - two-phase apply); COMPARISON.md records the destroy blockers + the
  - TF_VAR_project_id / piped-exit-code gotcha.
