Individual skill
gcp-essentials
Use when running a small product on core Google Cloud via the gcloud CLI: a project, Cloud Run deploys, a locked-down Cloud Storage bucket, managed Cloud SQL, and least-privilege IAM wiring them together. NOT AWS (that is `aws-essentials`), NOT the CI pipeline that ships the image (that is `deployment`), NOT Postgres schema/query tuning (that is `postgresdb`).

# GCP essentials
Get a small product running on the core of Google Cloud — safely and cheaply — with
the `gcloud` CLI as the source of truth. The console is fine for reading; the CLI is
what you commit, review, and reproduce. Bias toward **secure-by-default and near-zero
bill**, not "every GCP service".
Four primitives carry most products, plus the project/billing scaffold under them:
- **IAM** — who can do what. Get this wrong and nothing else matters.
- **Cloud Run** — serverless containers, scale to zero.
- **Cloud Storage** — object storage (buckets).
- **Cloud SQL** — managed Postgres/MySQL.
