TODO

• (Just port forwarding locally for now) Debug ingress / connection reset when listening on 7007
• Github auth
• Software catalog entries for online boutique
• Create GCP OAuth secret
• OAuth - Admin GKE --> App GKE
• Get GKE pods to show up alongside software catalog entries
• Get Cloud Build plugin working

TIME PERMITTING / EXPLORE

• Cloud Build plugin only shows global builds ... any way to show regional builds too?
• GCP Costs plugin
• get Cloud Build working for the backstage build/deploy (instead of deploy.sh script)
• explore how someone could create a GCP backstage plugin (eg. memorystore?) using the Node.js client libs
• Use Cloud SQL Postgres instead of in-cluster Postgres
