This article illustrates how we set-up a GCP infrastructure that enabled our application deployed on App Engine to make API calls to a server that requested a Static IP for whitelisting at scale.
In my previous article, I described how we set-up a standard infrastructure to make API calls to a Salesforce Server from a Static IP. …
