An engineer with AWS experience built a secure serverless architecture on GCP using Terraform, Cloud Run, Cloud Armor, Global Load Balancer, Cloud Logging, and Cloud Monitoring. The project involved implementing identity-based security with IAM, integrating WAF protections for SQL Injection and XSS via Cloud Armor, and establishing observability through logging and monitoring. Key lessons included differences in cloud provider security models, the importance of identity over network controls, and the value of monitoring blocked attacks. Challenges included Terraform resource duplication errors and configuration issues in monitoring filters. The project demonstrated real-world application of zero trust principles in serverless cloud security.
