A Practical Guide to Deploying Dagster Hybrid on GCP

In my previous post, "How I Built a Modern Data Orchestration Layer for Finfluencers.trade", I explained why I chose Dagster for my project — a platform that transforms financial content into structured, auditable data. The core challenge I wanted to solve was creating complete traceability and lineage for every piece of data, from raw podcast transcripts and article text to final predictions on the website.

This post dives into the how — a detailed, technical guide for setting up a Dagster Hybrid deployment on Google Cloud Platform (GCP).

This post explains how I set up that system—my data pipeline's orchestration—from day one.
