Rakazo: 200 Bot Fleet Runner

How to leverage Google Cloud Platform (GCP) credits with info@deliverypilot.net to power 200 autonomous bots with maximum cost efficiency, zero downtime, and serverless scalability.

💡 Core Strategy: How to Maximize Your GCP Credits

Running 200 bots on traditional always-on VMs will burn credits rapidly ($200–$500/month). By decomposing the 179+ bot manifests from bots/4_Formula/manifest.json into three tiers, we make your GCP credits last 5x to 10x longer:

Bot Workload Type Bot Count (% of Fleet) GCP Architecture Credit Impact
Tier 1: Scheduled / Cron
News scrapers, daily mail digest, financial checks, sync jobs		 ~120 bots (60%) Cloud Run Jobs + Cloud Scheduler
Containers spin up, execute task, shut down.		 Free Tier / Micro-cents
Scales to 0. Billed only per millisecond of compute.
Tier 2: Webhook / Event-Driven
Google Chat responders, Zulip stream relays, API webhooks		 ~50 bots (25%) Cloud Run Services (Scale-to-Zero)
Receives HTTP POST, processes in memory, idles.		 Negligible
2 million free invocations/month.
Tier 3: Stateful / Persistent Browser & Grok Agents
GrokBot computer use, desktop workers, long browser sessions		 ~30 bots (15%) GCE Spot VM (e2-standard-4)
Persistent worker host running headless Chromium & Hermes.		 60–91% Discount
~$15–$25/mo on Spot VMs instead of $120/mo standard.
AI Inference (LLM Calls)
Thinking log, bot summarization, decision loops		 All 200 bots Vertex AI (Gemini 1.5 Flash / Pro)
Use native GCP Vertex AI endpoints.		 Billed to GCP Credits
Cuts out third-party credit card token bills.

1 GCP Account & Project Setup

Switch CLI account to info@deliverypilot.net and configure the dedicated project:

# Login with deliverypilot account
gcloud auth login info@deliverypilot.net

# Select active Rakazo project
gcloud config set project rakazo-fleet

# Link billing account to apply your credits
gcloud billing accounts list
gcloud billing projects link rakazo-fleet \
  --billing-account=<YOUR_BILLING_ACCOUNT_ID>

# Enable required GCP APIs
gcloud services enable \
  run.googleapis.com \
  cloudscheduler.googleapis.com \
  secretmanager.googleapis.com \
  artifactregistry.googleapis.com \
  aiplatform.googleapis.com \
  compute.googleapis.com

2 Secret & Credential Governance

Centralize all bot tokens, Zulip keys, and webhook targets in Google Secret Manager:

# Create secret vault in GCP
gcloud secrets create RAKAZO_ENV_SECRETS --replication-policy="automatic"

# Load environment configuration
gcloud secrets versions add RAKAZO_ENV_SECRETS \
  --data-file=".env.production"

# Grant Cloud Run runner access
gcloud secrets add-iam-policy-binding RAKAZO_ENV_SECRETS \
  --member="serviceAccount:rakazo-runner@rakazo-fleet.iam.gserviceaccount.com" \
  --role="roles/secretmanager.secretAccessor"

3 Containerize Rakazo Web Runner

Package the web runner that coordinates GrokBot and Hermes executions:

# Create Google Artifact Registry repository
gcloud artifacts repositories create rakazo-repo \
  --repository-format=docker \
  --location=europe-west2 \
  --description="Rakazo Docker Repository"

# Build and push runner image
gcloud builds submit --tag \
  europe-west2-docker.pkg.dev/rakazo-fleet/rakazo-repo/runner:latest .

4 Deploy 200 Bots via Manifest Dispatch

Use manifest.json to register and trigger bots seamlessly via Cloud Scheduler:

# Deploy the central web gateway on Cloud Run
gcloud run deploy rakazo-web \
  --image=europe-west2-docker.pkg.dev/rakazo-fleet/rakazo-repo/runner:latest \
  --platform=managed \
  --region=europe-west2 \
  --allow-unauthenticated \
  --min-instances=0 \
  --max-instances=10 \
  --port=30150

# Example: Schedule a daily bot run (Cron)
gcloud scheduler jobs create http bot-daily-mail \
  --schedule="0 8 * * *" \
  --time-zone="Europe/London" \
  --uri="https://rakazo-web-<hash>.a.run.app/api/run/daily-mail-analysis" \
  --http-method=POST
