About This Architecture
GCP GKE chatbot architecture combines Google Kubernetes Engine with Dialogflow to deliver a scalable, managed conversational AI platform. User traffic flows through Cloud Load Balancing to an Nginx Ingress Controller, which routes requests to Chatbot UI and Chatbot Agent pods running in a dedicated chatbot namespace within GKE. The Chatbot Agent pod integrates with Dialogflow for NLU, accesses Cloud SQL for short-term conversation memory, and streams analytics to BigQuery, while a dedicated ServiceAccount manages secure access to Secret Manager for credential rotation. This design demonstrates GCP best practices: network segmentation via public and private subnets, workload identity via ServiceAccount, and separation of concerns across managed services.
