A CLI app which establishes a connection to a private Google Cloud SQL instance or AlloyDB instance and port-forwards it to a local machine.

Connection is established by running a Google Cloud SQL Auth Proxy pod (for Cloud SQL) or AlloyDB Auth Proxy pod (for AlloyDB) in a Google Kubernetes Engine cluster which runs in the same VPC network as the private database instance. Connection is then port-forwarded to the local machine, where a user can connect to the instance on localhost. Corresponding workload identity has to be configured in the cluster, with service account which has Cloud SQL Client role (for Cloud SQL instances) or AlloyDB Client role (for AlloyDB instances) on the given database instance. Configurations in the app can be saved for practical future usage.

The app relies on local gcloud and kubectl commands which have to be configured and authenticated with the proper Google Cloud user and GKE Kubernetes cluster.
