To scan and identify all the Google Cloud resources created by a Firebase project, I recommend using the Google Cloud Console or the gcloud CLI tool. Here are a few effective approaches:

1. Google Cloud Console Method:

# First, ensure you're logged in and have the correct project selected
gcloud config set project YOUR_FIREBASE_PROJECT_ID

# List all resources across different services
gcloud resources list

2. Comprehensive Resource Scanning Script:

from google.cloud import resource_manager

def scan_firebase_project_resources(project_id):
    # Initialize the client
    client = resource_manager.Client()
    project = client.fetch_project(project_id)

    # List resources across different services
    services_to_check = [
        'compute.googleapis.com',  # Compute Engine
        'firestore.googleapis.com',  # Firestore
        'storage-component.googleapis.com',  # Cloud Storage
        'cloudfunctions.googleapis.com',  # Cloud Functions
        'run.googleapis.com',  # Cloud Run
        'appengine.googleapis.com',  # App Engine
        'cloudbuild.googleapis.com',  # Cloud Build
        'cloudscheduler.googleapis.com',  # Cloud Scheduler
        'cloudtasks.googleapis.com',  # Cloud Tasks
    ]

    for service in services_to_check:
        print(f"Checking resources for service: {service}")
        # Implement specific resource listing for each service
        # This is a simplified example and would need to be expanded

3. Terraform State Approach:
   If you're using Terraform to manage your Firebase/Google Cloud infrastructure:

# Export current state
terraform show -json > current_state.json

# Parse the JSON to extract resource details

Recommended Best Practices:

• Use the Google Cloud Console's Resource Manager
• Utilize gcloud CLI for comprehensive resource listing
• Consider using cloud monitoring and logging tools
• Regularly audit your project resources

Limitations to Be Aware Of:

• Some resources might be hidden or require specific permissions
• Exact resource detection can vary based on your project configuration

Pro Tip: Create a script that periodically scans and logs your project resources to keep track of everything your Firebase project creates.

Would you like me to elaborate on any of these approaches or help you create a more detailed scanning script?
