Google Cloud Run + Cloud SQL, but as a keyboard.

The Google Cloud console is great for browsing and miserable for deploying. gcloud is great for deploying and miserable for browsing. Gooku does both, in one place, without your hands leaving the keyboard.

Gooku dashboard with figlet header, region us-central1, and a single-letter menu for Apps, Deploy, Logs, Config, Secrets, Domains, Databases, Create, Projects, Doctor — Dashboard. Single-key navigation, every Cloud surface covered.

Create new app — Link Billing Account step listing existing billing accounts to choose from — Create app. Billing linkage prompted inline, no console detour.

App created success view showing app name, project, region, and Artifact Registry repository path — App created. Project, region, repo path — everything you need to deploy.

Doctor diagnostics screen showing GCP authentication, project, gooku.yaml, gcloud CLI, Docker, and Git checks with a missing project flagged — Doctor. Auth, tools, config — a one-keystroke health check.

Gooku is a terminal UI for the bits of Google Cloud you actually deploy to — Cloud Run apps, Cloud SQL databases, Firestore, Memorystore, secrets, domains. Single binary, single-letter shortcuts, j/k everywhere. The console reduced to its useful parts.

Built because: the Google Cloud console is great for browsing and miserable for deploying. gcloud is great for deploying and miserable for browsing. Gooku does both, in one place, without your hands leaving the keyboard.
