GCP GKE Microservices Platform Diagram

GCP GKE Microservices Platform

This GCP architecture diagram shows a Kubernetes-based application platform. Users reach Cloud Load Balancing, which forwards traffic to a GKE cluster. The cluster runs an API service and a worker service. The API reads and writes Cloud SQL, while Artifact Registry supplies the container images deployed to GKE. This is a high-level platform view, rather than a cluster topology. It helps reviewers see which Google Cloud services take public traffic, run workloads, store application data, and hold build artifacts. Add namespaces, pods, autoscaling, or observability only when the audience needs those details. Keep the diagram current when equipment, cable paths, service ownership, or security boundaries change, so it remains useful for planning and operations.
