Google Cloud Endpoints and ESPv2 support both local and remote backends.
The diagram below displays ESPv2 in reverse proxy mode for remote backends. ESPv2 is deployed as a Google Cloud Run service, and it proxies requests to remote backends deployed on serverless backends. The backends can be deployed anywhere, including:
- Google Cloud Run
- Google Cloud Function
- Google App Engine
- Non-GCP platforms
The diagram below displays ESPv2 in sidecar deployment mode for local backends. ESPv2 is deployed as a container on Google Compute Engine, Google Kubernetes Engine, or any non-GCP Kubernetes cluster. The backend is also deployed alongside ESPv2.
