A book for setting up data engineering infrastructure on GCP: https://github.com/Nunie123/data_engineering_on_gcp_book

It's almost done, and I do plan to spend a little effort promoting it when it's complete, but it's been a great focus for me even if no one ever reads it.

I use a fair bit of infrastructure at my job that was set up by others. It was nice to go through the practice of setting it up myself.

I learned a good bit, but also it's nice to have all this knowledge written down in a place not owned by the company I work for. If I use GCP at future jobs I'm sure I'll reference this book myself.

The content is awesome! Have you considered converting it into something more accessible, like an mkdocs style?

I can recommend mkdocs-material. I'm doing blockchain video courses and I am using it for the study-materials - it's all markdown. And reception has been great.
