Right, so, multi-stage deployment. I am struggling to figure out how GC really looks at this. Is it done just via deploying the same service to different targets? Also, what’s a target really? If I have prod and dev as targets, both being deployed to the same region, I have to deploy the same service with different names for each target. Finally, my idea of multistage deployment is that I can also branch off inheriting all the data as well (database, asset files, etc.), and I can sync the data from one stage to another. If I merely deploy the same service to another target/name, I have then to take care of importing data myself. Sorry for the long query 🙂

There's an FR for disconnecting the database from the service, that would give you exactly that behavior.

Proxy Layer was the old terminology for API Gateway

Ha, now it makes more sense 🙂
