That's a generic and well documented stack that utilizes GCP defaults and works out of the box. An "expert" should not take a month to fail to set it up.

I've deployed similar, additionally including GKE, via terraform in a day - Checking TF code for an example 3-env GCP/GKE/CloudSQL stack it's less than 300 LoC

That said, it's not all good - my ongoing complaint with terraforming GCP is that the provider lags behind the features & config available in GCP console - worse than the AWS provider - especially w/r/t GKE and CloudSQL

Maybe we should have hired you instead of a "terraform expert" ;)

and yes, which features worked in GCP but not in terraform GCP were not clear, and there was always a "this works in beta" thing going on.
