Three-tier web app on Google Cloud

About this example

Modern web apps benefit from compartmentalized architecture. This diagram highlights:

• Serverless dynamic front-end: Utilizes Google Cloud Run for a scalable, containerized front-end.
• Efficient API management: Depicts a Cloud Run API layer managing communication and serverless VPC access.
• Durable and scalable database: Incorporates Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL with direct peering for data integrity.
• In-memory data caching: Features MemoryStore for Redis, ensuring low-latency data access.

When to use

• Refactoring to microservices: If you’re considering breaking a monolith into a serverless, microservices architecture.
• Optimizing resource management: When needing dynamic scaling for varied traffic without managing infrastructure.
• Implementing caching solutions: To introduce or optimize in-memory caching for performance improvement.
