# Introduction

This is a community documentation that captures everything [Ray Tsang (@saturnism)](https://twitter.com/saturnism) knows about running Spring Boot microservices/applications on Google Cloud Platform.

Instead of writing individual blogs on each topic, the content is organized and intended to be kept up to date. Feel free to [contribute via GitHub](https://github.com/saturnism/spring-on-gcp-gitbook), and/or [file topic requests](https://github.com/saturnism/spring-on-gcp-gitbook/issues)! If you'd like to discuss more in detail, you can [schedule an office hour](http://saturnism.me/office-hour/).
