Google Bucket now, CDN + Load balancer as backup in future

Can anybody point me out (or contact me : I could hire somebody to perform it), how to create Load balancer (+ CDN) with this scenario :
I have 4TB Google Bucket where our ecommerce(ERP) will save all documents, images, cache etc, All Files saved there will be served to frontend E-commerce users (Ubuntu virtual machine + PostgreDB is saved on virtual machines on local server)
I want to create solution in cloud so our local server VMs will be backed up somehow, best way for me seems to create Load balancer with CDN + second instance for VM+DB in cloud....
My scenario is :
- If users from USA will access the ecomerce, he will be served by load balancer from server in USA.
- If user from Germany will access our ecomerce, load balancer will decide if USA or GERMAN server is faster and less overloaded, and it will serve content from there..I beleiev most requests will be from our internal network as backend users will work in the ERP alot, so most our traffic will stay on local network
- If our local server for local users will be down, all requests will be handled with USA server in cloud.

......so I want to use load balancing as a sort of backup to our local server....one day I might cancel the whole local server and move it to cloud, but I need to move 1step in a time.(not sure how expensive it will be to create in cloud, so most of the requests I want to serve from our cloud and then test and see on small period , and calculate if it can be worth to move everything to cloud....need to see the numbers first, then move slowly..budget is not endless and coudl not find a real case studies for real ecommerce + ERP systems 🙂
