Python Client Example

import httpx
import asyncio

class GCPStorageClient:
    def __init__(self, base_url: str, api_key: str):
        self.base_url = base_url
        self.headers = {"X-API-Key": api_key}

    async def list_buckets(self):
        async with httpx.AsyncClient() as client:
            response = await client.get(
                f"{self.base_url}/buckets",
                headers=self.headers
            )
            return response.json()

    async def upload_file(self, bucket: str, blob_name: str, file_path: str):
        async with httpx.AsyncClient() as client:
            response = await client.post(
                f"{self.base_url}/buckets/{bucket}/blobs/{blob_name}/upload",
                headers=self.headers,
                json={"file_path": file_path}
            )
            return response.json()

# Usage
async def main():
    client = GCPStorageClient("http://localhost:8000", "your-api-key")

    # List buckets
    buckets = await client.list_buckets()
    print(f"Found {buckets['count']} buckets")

    # Upload file
    result = await client.upload_file(
        "my-bucket",
        "documents/file.pdf",
        "/local/path/file.pdf"
    )
    print(f"Upload completed: {result}")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(main())

📊 Monitoring & Observability

Health Monitoring

The API provides comprehensive health checks:

# Basic health check
curl http://localhost:8000/health

# Response includes:
# - Overall status
# - GCP connection status
# - Dependency health
# - Performance metrics
# - Uptime information

Metrics Collection

Built-in metrics endpoint provides:

curl http://localhost:8000/metrics

# Metrics include:
# - Request counts by endpoint
# - Response times
# - Error rates
# - Active requests
# - Cache hit rates

Structured Logging

All requests are logged with structured JSON:

{
  "timestamp": "2024-01-15T10:30:00Z",
  "level": "INFO",
  "message": "Request completed",
  "request_id": "550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000",
  "method": "GET",
  "path": "/buckets",
  "status_code": 200,
  "duration_ms": 45.2,
  "client_ip": "192.168.1.100"
}

🔒 Security Best Practices

Authentication

• Use strong, randomly generated API keys

• Rotate API keys regularly

• Store keys securely (environment variables, secret managers)

CORS Configuration

# Restrict origins in production
GCP_STORAGE_API_ALLOWED_ORIGINS="https://yourdomain.com,https://app.yourdomain.com"

Rate Limiting

# Configure appropriate limits
GCP_STORAGE_API_RATE_LIMIT_DEFAULT="1000/hour"
GCP_STORAGE_API_RATE_LIMIT_STORAGE="redis://secure-redis:6379"

GCP Permissions

Minimum required IAM roles:

• roles/storage.objectViewer - Read operations

• roles/storage.objectCreator - Upload operations

• roles/storage.admin - Full management (production)

📈 Performance Features

Intelligent Caching

• Bucket Lists: Cached for 5 minutes

• Bucket Info: Cached for 10 minutes

• Blob URLs: Cached for 1 hour

• Storage Analytics: Cached for 30 minutes

• Automatic Invalidation: Cache cleared on data modifications

Request Optimization

• Parallel Processing: Concurrent operations where possible

• Batch Operations: Efficient bulk operations

• Connection Pooling: Optimized GCP client connections

• Request Tracking: Complete request lifecycle monitoring
