This is a very simple example how to access Google Cloud BigQuery with help of its PHP-API by google/cloud-bigquery package incl. GRPC PHP Extension in a DDev Container.

Create or update a Service-Account in Google Cloud Console. Add BigQuery Administrator rights to user. Use existing or create new Service-Key-File [project-name]-[hash].json Add this file to project root of this project and rename it to GoogleCredentials.json. To be more safe you should move that file to another location and update path in .ddev/docker-compose.environment.yaml

ddev start

I have added a Dockerfile to .ddev/web-build/ which uses the original image of Drud and added the Pecl Extension grpc which was needed by all these Google Packages to retrieve data by stream. Yes, it will need some time, if you start DDev container the first time.

To prevent overriding the original www.conf file of DDev Container I have added some special DPKG options to apt-get in Dockerfile.

In .ddev/php you will find the file to activate the GRPC PHP Extension.

Please keep PHP Versions in Sync. If you modify PHP Version in config.yaml of DDev, you also habe to update thie PHP Version in .ddev/web-build/Dockerfile
