Full Answer
Create a new GCP project to act as the scoping project., Add the Frontend, Backend, and Database projects to the scoping project's metrics scope.
In Cloud Monitoring, a 'metrics scope' defines the set of GCP projects whose metrics you can view together. The best practice is to create a dedicated, empty GCP project (the scoping project) and then add your resource-hosting projects (Frontend, Backend, Database) to that metrics scope. This provides a single pane of glass for dashboards and alerting.
Common mistakes
Thinking VPC Peering is required for metrics aggregation. Metrics flow through Google's APIs, not the VPC.
