Project Title: End-to-End GCP Infrastructure Deployment & Management for Signal Research
Client: Signal Research https://www.signal-research.com/
Project Overview:
As the lead Google Cloud Platform (GCP) solutions provider for Signal Research, I delivered comprehensive cloud infrastructure support to seamlessly deploy, optimize, and manage their frontend and backend systems. This project focused on building a robust, scalable, and secure environment to support their data-driven research platform, ensuring high availability, performance, and cost efficiency.
Key Responsibilities & Achievements:
- Infrastructure Design & Deployment: Architected and deployed a scalable GCP environment using services like Compute Engine, Kubernetes Engine (GKE), Cloud Storage, and Cloud Load Balancing to host both frontend (web applications) and backend (APIs, databases) components.
- Performance Optimization: Enhanced system reliability and reduced latency by 40%+ through load balancing, auto-scaling configurations, and leveraging CDN (Cloud CDN) for global content delivery.
- Security & Compliance: Enforced security best practices by configuring IAM roles, VPC networks, firewall rules, and enabling Cloud Security Command Center for real-time threat monitoring.
- Cost Management: Optimized resource utilization with sustained-use discounts, right-sizing instances, and budget alerts, cutting monthly cloud costs by 25% without compromising performance.
- Ongoing Support & Monitoring: Provided 24/7 support using Cloud Monitoring and Logging to ensure 99.9% uptime, troubleshoot issues proactively, and deliver detailed performance reports.
Technologies Used:
Google Compute Engine (GCE), Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), Cloud Storage, Cloud CDN, Cloud SQL, Cloud Build, IAM, VPC, Cloud Monitoring, Terraform (IaC).
Outcome:
Signal Research’s platform achieved seamless scalability to handle fluctuating user traffic, improved global accessibility, and enhanced security posture—all while maintaining cost-effectiveness. The client reported a significant boost in operational efficiency and praised the proactive approach to resolving complex cloud challenges.
