What

Adds support for GCP Memorystore for Valkey with IAM authentication and in-transit encryption (private CA).

  • gcp-iam auth type (server, spawned metrics collectors, frontend). Mints short-lived OAuth2 tokens from Application Default Credentials (Workload Identity / GCE metadata / GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS), scoped to cloud-platform, and uses them as the AUTH password with the fixed default user (the only username Memorystore accepts).
  • Token rotation via GLIDE updateConnectionPassword(token, true) before expiry — re-auths every cluster-node connection. GLIDE's native iamConfig is AWS-only, so GCP tokens are minted/refreshed by the app.
  • Private-CA TLS: VALKEY_CA_CERT_PATH seeds the existing caCertPath field and is passed to GLIDE as rootCertificates (and to the iovalkey MONITOR stream as tls.ca). Needed because GLIDE's Rust-core TLS ignores Node's trust store / NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS.

Also: bumps google-auth-library to ^11, adds server tests for the credential and CA wiring, and documents the new config.

Design

Follows the approved design proposal in #507

Notes for reviewers (AI-assisted)

Some of this was AI-assisted; flagging assumptions to sanity-check:

  • VALKEY_CA_CERT_PATH seeds the existing caCertPath field (mirroring VALKEY_TLStls) rather than introducing a parallel concept; there's no per-connection CA UI yet (existing caCertPath TODO).
  • Token refresh uses setInterval, consistent with existing backend periodic work (WS heartbeat, session cleanup, metrics ping); the epics rule applies to the frontend Redux store, which the server/metrics don't have.
  • default is hardcoded as the IAM username per GCP docs (any other value returns -WRONGPASS).

Testing

  • Server unit tests (gcp-iam credential + CA rootCertificates) pass; lint/typecheck clean.
  • Manually verified against a Memorystore for Valkey cluster (IAM + TLS) on GKE.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds GCP IAM authentication across frontend, server, metrics, and documentation paths. The change mints and refreshes short-lived GCP tokens, supports custom CA certificates, updates connection state handling, and adds server connection tests.

Changes

GCP IAM authentication

Layer / File(s) Summary
Frontend GCP IAM connection flow
apps/frontend/src/components/..., apps/frontend/src/state/...
The connection modal exposes gcp-iam. Frontend connection, reconnect, resume, and cluster-node flows bypass password handling for this authentication type.
Server authentication and TLS construction
apps/server/package.json, apps/server/src/actions/connection.ts, apps/server/src/gcp-iam-provider.ts, apps/server/src/valkey-client.ts, apps/server/src/connection.ts, apps/server/src/__tests__/connection.test.ts
The server mints GCP access tokens, authenticates as default, propagates caCertPath, loads custom CA certificates into TLS settings, and tests these behaviors.
Server token refresh and metrics orchestration
apps/server/src/iam-token-refresh.ts, apps/server/src/metrics-orchestrator.ts, apps/server/src/connection.ts
Server clients refresh GCP tokens every 45 minutes. Teardown removes refresh timers. Metrics orchestration forwards GCP IAM and CA certificate settings.
Metrics client authentication and refresh
apps/metrics/package.json, apps/metrics/src/utils/gcp-iam-provider.js, apps/metrics/src/effects/monitor-stream.js, apps/metrics/src/valkey-client.js, apps/metrics/src/index.js
Metrics clients use Application Default Credentials, refresh GCP tokens every 45 minutes, clean up timers during shutdown, and support custom CA certificates.
GCP IAM configuration documentation
docker/description.md, docs-site/src/content/docs/configuration/..., docs-site/src/content/docs/features/connections.md, docs-site/src/content/docs/reference/limitations.md
Documentation describes GCP IAM configuration, token rotation, Application Default Credentials, the default username, TLS, and VALKEY_CA_CERT_PATH.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to da8c2

Kubernetes replica collectors using GCP IAM or a private CA can fail to connect. Persistent credential failures also retry continuously, and stale clients retain refresh work. These issues should be fixed before merge.

99-104: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Preserve GCP IAM and CA settings for flattened replicas.

When DEPLOYMENT_MODE is Kubernetes, this function removes authType and caCertPath from every replica. startMetricsServer then sets VALKEY_AUTH_TYPE=password and omits VALKEY_CA_CERT_PATH. GCP IAM replica metrics connections cannot mint credentials, and private-CA replica connections cannot validate the server certificate.

Copy username, authType, caCertPath, and the IAM configuration fields from primaryNode into each replica record.

mintGcpAccessToken() is missing its required useTLS/verifyTlsCertificate args and fails to typecheck in local IDE. This throw at runtime before refreshing, so the token never rotates.

@nassery318, It's fixed. registerGcpTokenRefresh now passes useTLS and verifyTlsCertificate through to mintGcpAccessToken() in all three spots (cluster, standalone, and orchestrator).

Unregister the replaced cluster client before closing it.

registerGcpTokenRefresh stores a timer for the client. close() does not clear this timer. The timer only unregisters itself after its next callback receives ClosingError from updateConnectionPassword. Therefore, the closed client can remain retained until the next 45-minute interval.

Call unregisterGcpTokenRefresh(existingClusterConnection.client) before close().

🟠 Major · Preserve authentication and CA settings for replica collectors.

apps/server/src/metrics-orchestrator.ts:136-141
🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Preserve authentication and CA settings for replica collectors.

When Kubernetes flattens a cluster topology, this replica record drops authType and caCertPath. startMetricsServer then defaults the child to "password" and omits VALKEY_CA_CERT_PATH. GCP IAM replica collectors with a private CA cannot connect.

Copy the primary node connection settings before replacing the replica address.

🟡 Minor · Preserve authentication and CA settings for flattened replicas. · metrics-orchestrator.ts:136-141

apps/server/src/metrics-orchestrator.ts:136-141
🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Preserve authentication and CA settings for flattened replicas. Copy authType and caCertPath from primaryNode when Kubernetes flattens each replica. Every flattened replica reaches startMetricsServer, which sets VALKEY_AUTH_TYPE and VALKEY_CA_CERT_PATH from those fields. Without them, GCP IAM replicas default to password authentication, and private-CA replicas lose their configured root certificate.

🟡 Minor · Unregister the GCP token refresh before closing the retry client. · connection.ts:218

apps/server/src/connection.ts:218
🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Unregister the GCP token refresh before closing the retry client.

For a retry of a GCP-IAM standalone connection, connectToValkey closes the existing GlideClient without unregistering it. refreshTimers remains registered until a later updateConnectionPassword call throws ClosingError. Call unregisterGcpTokenRefresh(existing.client) before existing.client.close().

Thanks for this PR. A couple of things to reduce code duplication.

This is done now. metrics now calls registerGcpTokenRefresh / unregisterGcpTokenRefresh from valkey-common and unregisters on shutdown.

Let's move this file to common and reuse in the metrics as well to maintain a single source of truth.

Moved to gcp-iam-provider.ts as the single mintGcpAccessToken; deleted the server and metrics copies. Rhis adds google-auth-library to common deps.

Instead of maintaining 2 maps and a set, let's just have 1 map. We can use have the map store an interface e.g.

interface RefreshState {
    label: string
    useTLS: boolean
    verifyTlsCertificate: boolean
    timer?: NodeJS.Timeout
    failures: number   // 0 while healthy; drives backoff while failing
  }

Then we can also utilize exponential backoff (retryDelay from constants.ts) instead of trying once and then waiting. Just need to make sure the backoff doesn't interfere with the regular interval.

@ArgusLi Thanks for the review
This is done, single Map<client, RefreshState> with failures driving retryDelay() backoff. I used one self-rescheduling timer (success => 45 min, failure => backoff) so the backoff can't overlap the regular interval. Let me know if you'd prefer a fixed interval + separate backoff timer instead.

This looks good, thank you for your quick changes.Just 1 final small change.

Also could you please rebase the branch according to the DCO action and fix the lint?
