DOC-2098, DOC-1434: Extend Serverless trial to 30 days; add GCP Marketplace self-service by micheleRP · Pull Request #564 · redpanda-data/cloud-docs

micheleRP · 2026-04-28T00:02:47Z

Summary

DOC-2098 / ENG-1190 — Update the Serverless free-trial copy from 14 days to 30 days. Credits ($100 USD) and the 7-day grace period are unchanged.
DOC-1434 / ENG-651 — Document self-service sign-up through Google Cloud Marketplace. Mirrors the AWS Marketplace pay-as-you-go experience: $300 USD in free credits over the first 30 days, available for Serverless and Dedicated clusters.

Bundling the two tickets into one PR because they're shipping at the same time and share SME reviewers.

Changes

File	Change
`modules/get-started/partials/get-started-serverless.adoc`	"14 days" → "30 days"; new Google Cloud Marketplace tab
`modules/get-started/pages/cloud-overview.adoc`	New Google Cloud Marketplace tab in the Dedicated sign-up section
`modules/billing/pages/gcp-pay-as-you-go.adoc`	New page, mirrors `aws-pay-as-you-go.adoc`
`modules/ROOT/nav.adoc`	New nav entry: GCP: Use Pay As You Go
`modules/get-started/pages/whats-new-cloud.adoc`	New May 2026 section (trial extension) and new April 2026 entry (GCP self-service)

Preview pages

Test plan

Local build succeeds (npm run build && npm run serve) with no new errors or warnings introduced.
Serverless overview → Free trial / AWS / Google Cloud tabs render correctly; Free trial reads "first 30 days."
Cloud overview → Dedicated sign-up shows Sales / AWS / Google Cloud tabs.
GCP Pay As You Go page loads and follows the same structure as AWS Pay As You Go.
Nav shows GCP: Use Pay As You Go directly under AWS: Use Pay As You Go.
What's New shows May 2026 (Extended trial) above April 2026 (GCP self-service top of list).
SME confirms credit amount ($300 / 30 days), Marketplace listing URL once available, and "Serverless and Dedicated only" scoping for GCP self-service.

This PR adds documentation for Google Cloud Marketplace integration with Redpanda Cloud's pay-as-you-go billing option. It includes a new dedicated documentation page explaining the GCP subscription process, updates to the billing navigation to link the new page, extensions to existing cloud-overview and get-started pages to feature the Google Cloud Marketplace option alongside AWS Marketplace, and updates to the "What's New" section announcing the May 2026 GCP Marketplace availability and extended Serverless free trial period (14 to 30 days).

+= Use GCP Pay As You Go
+:description: Subscribe to Redpanda in Google Cloud Marketplace with pay-as-you-go billing, and cancel anytime.
+
+Subscribe to Redpanda Cloud through Google Cloud Marketplace to quickly provision Serverless and Dedicated clusters. With a usage-based pay-as-you-go subscription, you only pay for what you use and can cancel anytime.


Worth double-checking if we want to offer Dedicated through this method. I'm not certain that we do.

@jan-g or @nicolaferraro: Do you know if GCP Marketplace is for both Serverless and Dedicated?

confirmed that our listing includes Dedicated: https://console.cloud.google.com/marketplace/product/redpanda-public/redpanda-cloud-platform?project=redpanda-public

- Surface Serverless-on-GCP beta status on the GCP Pay As You Go page and in the April 2026 whats-new entry. - Rewrite May 2026 trial-extension sentence for clarity (AWS-cluster signal preserved; redpanda.com sign-up link split out). - Cross-link AWS and GCP Pay As You Go pages from each other's Next steps. - Restore trailing newlines on the partial and the AWS page.

Curious about the navtree entries:

Why not use:

Billing
     Billing and Support
     Manage Billing Notifications
     AWS
           Use Commits
           Use Pay As You Go
     GCP
          Use Commits
          Use Pay As You Go
     Azure
          Use Commits

Address review feedback on PR #564: - Restructure Billing navtree to nest commit/pay-as-you-go pages under AWS / Azure / GCP group headings. - Remove cross-cloud links from Pay As You Go pages (a GCP user has no reason to read the AWS page, and vice versa). - Add Serverless cluster link to GCP Commitments Next steps for parity with AWS Commitments.

+=== Extended Serverless free trial
+
+The free trial for Redpanda Serverless on AWS now lasts 30 days, up from 14 days. The $100 (USD) credit allowance and 7-day grace period are unchanged. Sign up at https://www.redpanda.com/try-data-streaming[redpanda.com^]. See xref:get-started:cluster-types/serverless.adoc[Serverless clusters].


Remove the words "on AWS" as it's not provider based.
