GCP Marketplace
CRAFT is available on the Google Cloud Marketplace as a Terraform Kubernetes Application. Customers can deploy the platform into their own GKE clusters and apply purchases against existing GCP committed spend.Why GCP Marketplace
Committed Spend Drawdown
Apply CRAFT purchases against existing GCP committed spend via the Marketplace Commerce Platform for Operators (MCPO), with a 25% cap for channel deals.
Simplified Procurement
Pre-approved vendor status on GCP Marketplace eliminates lengthy procurement cycles — up to 4 weeks faster than traditional vendor onboarding.
Unified Billing
Customers receive one consolidated GCP bill rather than a separate vendor invoice.
Low Fees
Standard marketplace fee of 3%, with renewal rates as low as 1.5%.
Architecture Advantage
CRAFT is natively deployed on GKE Autopilot in production. The GCP Marketplace listing leverages the same Helm chart (em-runtime) and Terraform modules used for direct deployments, ensuring consistency:
| Component | Source |
|---|---|
| Application chart | em-runtime Helm chart (cloud-agnostic) |
| Infrastructure module | GKE Terraform module (provided in deployment kit) |
| Container images | Published to Google Artifact Registry via CI/CD |
| Configuration | Environment-specific Helm values files (provided in deployment kit) |
Deployment Model
- Private Offer
- Self-Service (Phase 3)
Private offers allow the sales team to send a pre-configured pricing link directly to target customers. No public storefront is required.
Sales creates a private offer
Using the GCP Producer Portal, the sales team configures pricing (subscription, usage-based, or hybrid) and generates a private offer link.
Customer accepts the offer
The customer clicks the private offer link, reviews pricing, and accepts within their GCP console. The purchase is applied against their GCP committed spend.
Billing Integration
GCP billing uses a metering agent sidecar that reports usage metrics to the GCP Marketplace Billing API.Metered Dimensions
| Candidate Dimension | Unit | Description | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Active users | count | Active platform users per billing period | Under review |
| API calls | count | Total API requests (aggregate or by service) | Under review |
| Data volume processed | bytes | Total data volume processed by the platform | Under review |
| Managed nodes | count | Number of managed infrastructure nodes or clusters | Under review |
Pricing Model
The GCP listing supports a hybrid pricing model:- Base subscription: Monthly or annual fee for platform access
- Usage-based metering: Additional charges based on consumption of metered dimensions
- Private offer pricing: Custom pricing negotiated per customer via the Producer Portal
Container Image Publishing
The CI/CD pipeline publishes container images to Google Artifact Registry for the following components:| Category | Images |
|---|---|
| Production services | Governance, Assets, Utils |
| Subchart dependencies | Keycloak, OpenFGA, PostgreSQL, Redis, Infisical (or ESO) |
| Init containers | Schema migration, bootstrap, health-check |
The
ci-main.yml pipeline builds and pushes images to Artifact Registry on every merge to main. Pre-release images are built from feature branches via ci-branches.yml.Prerequisites for Deployment
Before deploying from GCP Marketplace:- GKE cluster — An existing GKE Autopilot or Standard cluster (1.28+)
- Cloud SQL — PostgreSQL 17+ instance with 9 databases (one per service)
- Memorystore — Redis 7 instance for caching and event streaming
- IAM — Workload Identity configured for service-to-GCP-service authentication
- Networking — VPC with private service access for Cloud SQL and Memorystore
Troubleshooting
Deployment fails with permission errors
Deployment fails with permission errors
Verify the deploying user has the
roles/container.admin and roles/iam.serviceAccountUser roles. Workload Identity requires the service account to be bound to the Kubernetes service account.Metering agent not reporting usage
Metering agent not reporting usage
Check that the metering agent sidecar is running in the Governance pod. Verify the
MARKETPLACE_METERING_ENABLED environment variable is set to true and the service account has the roles/servicemanagement.reporter role.Private offer not visible to customer
Private offer not visible to customer
Ensure the private offer was created in the correct GCP Producer Portal project and the customer’s billing account ID matches the offer target.
