The Challenge
A fast-growing SaaS company had been manually provisioning GCP resources, leading to significant operational challenges:
- Configuration drift between environments causing production issues
- No audit trail for infrastructure changes
- Slow deployment times (days to provision new environments)
- Difficulty replicating environments for testing
- High operational overhead for the DevOps team
Our Approach
CloudBrainy implemented a comprehensive IaC strategy using Terraform and GitOps best practices:
- Terraform module library for common GCP patterns
- Git-based workflow with pull request reviews
- Automated validation with Terraform validate and tflint
- CI/CD pipeline integration with Cloud Build
- Remote state management with Cloud Storage
- Secret management with Secret Manager integration
