A CLI app which establishes a connection to a private Google Cloud SQL instance or AlloyDB instance and port-forwards it to a local machine.
Connection is established by running a Google Cloud SQL Auth Proxy pod (for Cloud SQL) or AlloyDB Auth Proxy pod (for AlloyDB) in a Google Kubernetes Engine cluster which runs in the same VPC network as the private database instance. Connection is then port-forwarded to the local machine, where a user can connect to the instance on localhost. Corresponding workload identity has to be configured in the cluster, with service account which has Cloud SQL Client role (for Cloud SQL instances) or AlloyDB Client role (for AlloyDB instances) on the given database instance. Configurations in the app can be saved for practical future usage.
The app relies on local gcloud and kubectl commands which have to be configured and authenticated with the proper Google Cloud user and GKE Kubernetes cluster.

- Authenticate to Google Cloud:
gcloud auth login - Get GKE cluster credentials:
gcloud container clusters get-credentials - https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/docs/how-to/workload-identity[Configure workload identity] in GKE namespace(s) and assign appropriate IAM roles:
** Cloud SQL Client role for Cloud SQL instances
** AlloyDB Client role for AlloyDB instances - Enable required APIs for project(s):
** Cloud SQL Admin API for Cloud SQL instances:gcloud services enable sqladmin.googleapis.com --project=$PROJECT
** AlloyDB API for AlloyDB instances:gcloud services enable alloydb.googleapis.com --project=$PROJECT
=== Run
[source,bash]
Help

== Migrations
=== v1 to v2
Migration from v1 to v2 is done automatically when the app is run for the first time after upgrade to version 2.0.0.
== Build
[source,bash]
pnpm build

[source,bash]
pnpm build
pnpm exec pkg dist/index.cjs -t '<NODE_RANGE>--' -o 'google-cloud-sql'
Example
pnpm exec pkg dist/index.cjs -t 'node24-macos-arm64' -o 'google-cloud-sql'
== Deploy
To deploy a new version of google-cloud-sql app, manually run a https://github.com/edosrecki/google-cloud-sql-cli/actions/workflows/continuous-deployment.yml["Continuous Deployment"] worklow in GitHub Actions.
== Todo
- Add snap for Linux
- Add completions
- Cache user's running pods, and alert user on next startup if they were not cleaned up on previous app exit.
