Hi, this is a great post. Terraform sounds to be a great tool, but I'm thinking that since I'm using github actions to deploy my gcp functions and my angular frontend to firebase hosting, are terraform useful yet? Or they could be used together? Maybe in other cases?

I really like to discuss about that. Thanks for your article.

Thanks for your comment 🙏

Yes you can use both GitHub actions and Terraform together as they don't have the same role:

  • Terraform will help to automate the creation of your resources in GCP, there is a provider that you can use to create you Cloud Functions and Firebase resources
  • Once your resources have been created in GCP by Terraform, you can use GitHub actions to deploy your code there

What I've shown in this article is about creating the infrastructure/the resources, it's like an empty shell, actual code still need to be deploy there 😉
