Can Google Cloud backends handle enterprise-scale traffic?
Yes, when it is designed for it. Cloud Run and GKE add instances automatically as load grows, Cloud Load Balancing spreads traffic across zones and regions, and AlloyDB or Spanner take over when one Cloud SQL instance is no longer enough. In practice the limit is usually database connections and hot rows rather than Google's capacity, so we load-test on staging with production settings before launch and design for multi-zone failover. Google's own SLAs apply to the managed services.
How much does Google Cloud development cost at Miracuves?
It depends on the offer. Google Cloud work starts from $3,699, depending on the work. A custom Google Cloud build or migration costs $8,000-$25,000 over 2-8 weeks depending on scope - the number of services and environments, how much data has to move, the data layer, BigQuery and Vertex AI features, compliance controls and integrations decide where it lands; larger scopes are quoted in writing before work starts. An ongoing retainer for feature work and maintenance starts from $2,299/month. If a catalogue product fits, a ready-made platform with web app, admin panel and mobile apps starts from $2,199 and goes live in 6 working days. Your Google Cloud bill is separate from our fee and paid by you directly to Google. Every quote is written before payment, with no surprise invoices after kickoff.
Does Miracuves deliver the full API source code?
Yes - completely. Miracuves delivers the application repository with its full commit history, the Terraform for every Google Cloud resource, the Cloud Build or GitHub Actions pipelines, API documentation and the runbook. The organization, projects and billing account are already yours, and access is transferred as IAM roles, never as shared passwords or key files. Zero lock-in: your own engineers or another company can carry on the morning after handoff.
How fast can a Google Cloud project realistically be delivered?
Scoped Google Cloud work starts from $3,699, depending on the work, and custom builds and migrations take 2-8 weeks depending on scope; larger scopes are quoted in writing before work starts. If one of our 90+ catalogue products fits, the ready-made platform - web app, admin panel and mobile apps - goes live in 6 working days on its own stack. Every timeline is agreed in writing before any payment is requested.
Google Cloud vs AWS or Azure - which does Miracuves recommend?
Google Cloud when the product is built around its data: BigQuery analytics, Vertex AI and Gemini features, Cloud Run services that scale to zero, or an app already on Firebase. AWS when your team and data are already there or you need its wider service catalogue; Azure when your company runs on Microsoft 365, Entra ID and .NET. We put the recommendation and the reasons in writing before you commit.
What is included in the admin dashboard with every delivery?
The admin panel ships with our ready-made platforms: user management, content, payments and settings, as a web app that works in any browser. Custom Google Cloud work does not include a product admin panel by default. You get the Google Cloud console through IAM roles, Cloud Monitoring dashboards for health and spend, and runbooks; an admin web app for your own product can be scoped into the build.
Does Miracuves handle production deployment and monitoring?
Yes, as part of every delivery. Miracuves builds container images in Cloud Build or GitHub Actions, stores them in Artifact Registry, deploys to Cloud Run or GKE in your project, and sets up managed certificates, Cloud Monitoring alerting and Error Reporting. Production go-live happens within the same engagement as the build, and the dashboards and alerts stay with you after handoff.
What happens after the API is delivered if there are bugs?
Every Google Cloud delivery includes 60 days of post-launch technical support, and bugs in the code or Terraform we delivered are fixed at no extra cost during that window. New services or features beyond the agreed scope are quoted separately, and the monthly retainer from $2,299/month covers ongoing changes after that.
How does Miracuves handle NDA and confidentiality?
Miracuves signs a mutual NDA before you share any project details, covering your architecture, data, business logic and IP. An IP assignment agreement confirming that 100% of the code and Terraform we write transfers to you is signed at project start, not at the end, and your Google Cloud projects never leave your organization.
Who owns the Google Cloud organization, projects and billing account?
You do. The Google Cloud organization, its projects and the Cloud Billing account are created in your company's name, usually on your own Google Workspace or Cloud Identity domain, and Google invoices you directly. Miracuves works through IAM roles on groups you control and removes its access at handoff. The Terraform, pipelines, scripts and application code we write are 100% yours. Managed services such as Cloud SQL, BigQuery and Vertex AI remain Google's services, running under your account.
Can you build to HIPAA, PCI DSS or GDPR requirements on Google Cloud?
Yes. Google secures the underlying infrastructure and publishes its own compliance reports; how your projects are configured is your side of the shared responsibility model. We build to the controls these frameworks require - customer-managed encryption keys where needed, VPC Service Controls around sensitive data, least-privilege IAM, Cloud Audit Logs retained, backups with restore tests - and for HIPAA we keep protected health information in services covered by the Business Associate Agreement you accept with Google. Assured Workloads can hold data to chosen regions. Audits and attestations belong to your organization.
Can Miracuves take over a Google Cloud project someone else set up?
Yes. We start with a written review: who holds Owner roles, which service account keys exist, what runs in the default network, which charges on the bill nobody can explain, and what is not in code. Then we bring the running resources under Terraform with import blocks, rotate or remove keys, and add budgets, alerting and a staging project. The review and the fixes are quoted before work starts: custom Google Cloud work runs 2-8 weeks at $8,000-$25,000 depending on scope, and smaller scopes start from $3,699.
