Zolaid FinOps
Build, deploy, and optimize on Google Cloud — from your IDE.
Zolaid FinOps is a VS Code extension that adds a conversational sidebar for Google Cloud development. Scaffold SaaS apps, generate Docker and Terraform, deploy to Cloud Run or GKE, run FinOps cost scans, and polish your site with AI — all without leaving VS Code.
Features
Golden Path
One command to scaffold a full React SaaS + GCP package: website pages, Docker, Terraform, CI/CD, IAM, VPC, and a GOLDEN-PATH.md runbook.
Website Starter Kits
Generate production-ready marketing sites with About, Contact, Login, Pricing, FAQ, Privacy, and Terms pages. Supports:
- React, Vue, Spring Boot, FastAPI, Express, Go
DevOps & Infrastructure
- Dockerfiles and compose configs
- Terraform for Cloud Run and GKE
- VPC, IAM, and architecture blueprints
- GitHub Actions CI/CD pipelines
- Live DevOps scan of the project your
gcloud account can see: failed Cloud Run revisions, missing probes, Cloud Build, IAM Owner/Editor on service accounts, uptime/alert gaps, Artifact Registry, Secret Manager (values never printed)
FinOps Intelligence
Scan your Google Cloud project (via gcloud auth login / gcloud.cmd on Windows) for live waste: billing/budgets (real numbers only — never fake invoices), Cloud Run (all regions), GCE VMs, GKE node pools, Cloud SQL, disks, idle IPs, forwarding rules, unused load-balancer backends, BigQuery datasets. Sidebar report: what I see + benefit. Nothing is changed until you click Allow / Skip / Stop. Terraform is never edited silently. Pick one project if you have several.
AI Assistant (optional)
Connect OpenAI or Anthropic for natural-language control. Works without an API key in rule-based mode.
Enterprise Security
Workspace checkpoints, rollback on failed deploys, least-privilege IAM templates, and budget guardrails.
