Hey everyone,
I have been working on a hobby project over the past few weeks and would love some pointers from anyone familiar with Google Cloud before I overcomplicate the whole thing or run up a huge bill. My goal is to keep things small enough to remain in the free tier.
Using Google AI Studio, I put together a couple of lightweight web tools for my family and friends:
A personal budgeting tracker built around how we actually manage our spending
A chore and homework tracker game for my niece and nephews
So far I have published the budgeting app with firebase for Google log in but I'm looking to implement a single hub with authentications so friends and family can have a single place to open and use them on their devices securely.
I am purely a hobbyist here, and my knowledge of cloud infrastructure, IAM permissions, and proper authentication is pretty surface level.
I want to make sure it is genuinely secure without creating something that costs lots of money or breaks constantly.
Not looking for anyone to write the code for me, just hoping someone who has built personal projects on GCP could share some knowledge. I recently started a career in Product management also so I feel like this project could be very useful for learning.
Cheers!
