Cloud Logging

Fully managed log aggregation and analysis service. Collects, stores, and searches logs from all GCP services and custom applications with 30-day retention and severity levels.

Cloud Monitoring

Unified observability platform for metrics, dashboards, and alerting. Monitors GCP, AWS, and on-premises resources with real-time visibility into performance and uptime.

Cloud Trace

Distributed tracing service that captures request latency across microservices. Visualizes end-to-end request paths with spans to identify performance bottlenecks.

Cloud Profiler

Statistical profiling tool for production environments. Continuously analyzes CPU and memory usage with flame graphs to identify resource-intensive code paths.

Error Reporting

Centralized error aggregation and notification service. Groups similar errors by stack trace, tracks resolution status, and alerts on new or escalating error patterns.

Cloud Build

Serverless CI/CD platform that executes builds in containers. Runs build steps defined in cloudbuild.yaml with triggers for automated deployments from source repositories.

Artifact Registry

Universal artifact repository for container images and language packages. Stores Docker, Maven, npm, and Python artifacts with vulnerability scanning and fine-grained IAM.

Deployment Manager

Infrastructure as Code service for automating GCP resource creation. Uses Jinja2 or Python templates to declaratively define and manage infrastructure deployments.

Cloud Scheduler

Fully managed cron job service for scheduled task execution. Triggers HTTP, Pub/Sub, or App Engine targets on configurable schedules with at-least-once delivery.

Pub/Sub

Global serverless messaging service for asynchronous event-driven communication. Decouples publishers from subscribers with at-least-once delivery and automatic scaling.

Eventarc

Managed event routing service that connects event sources to destinations. Uses CloudEvents format to route GCP, Audit Log, or custom events to Cloud Run, Functions, or Workflows.
