In this blog post we are going to build a private AI assistant that lives on Telegram, remembers you, reads your inbox on demand, and sends you a triaged email briefing every morning at 7 - all running on your own server with n8n, self-hosted on a VPS for roughly the price of two coffees a month. This is the companion …

This is the last post of my Google Cloud networking series, and it is about the tool I find the most elegant of them all - Private Service Connect, or PSC. With VPC peering we connected two whole networks. With Shared VPC we put many projects on one network. PSC does something much more surgical - it lets one team …

The network team owns a hub in one project, and every application team has its own project with its own VPC. So in this blog post we are going to peer two VPC …

In this blog post we are going to look at Google Cloud VPC Network Peering - what it is, when you should use it instead of Shared VPC or a VPN, and then we are gonna build a complete hub-and-spoke lab step by step. Two VPC networks, two VMs with no public IP at all, and by the end of the post the hub VM pings the …

For the last few weeks I have been building and shipping a small SaaS of my own, and I want to document the infrastructure side while it is fresh, because most "deploy to Cloud Run" tutorials stop at gcloud run deploy and skip everything that makes a service production-ready: a managed database, secrets, a …
