Bridge data and apps the practical way. We’ll start with a quick tour of Cloud Run (serverless containers), Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL (managed DB), and the Cloud SQL Node.js Connector (secure, IAM-based connectivity—no passwords, no IP allowlists). Then we’ll run a guided codelab to:

Create a Cloud SQL instance

Configure IAM/service account access

Deploy an Angular (SSR/Node) app to Cloud Run

Connect securely and perform CRUD

Takeaways: deploy to Cloud Run, connect to Cloud SQL the right way, and reuse these cloud patterns at work.

Prereqs: Laptop + Google account (free trial OK), billing enabled, modern browser.

Note: I will try to secure some free GCP credits to give away. Other than that, New users are eligible for the $300 Free Trial.
