⁠Google Cloud: Cloud - Run

This is a demo of the usage of Google Cloud Platform App Engine Service⁠.

It is a mobile first application that uses Node.js version of the service and sports a custom Express.js application that implements pug as the view engine.

Along with this it also implements a CI/CD pipeline that automatically re-deploys the application after passing as series of tests.

Prerequisites:

1. Node.js
2. Docker Desktop
3. gcloud account
4. gcloud sdk

⁠SDK Authentication

If the SDK is installed run gcloud config and follow the prompts. (note: you first need a google cloud account for this to work.)

⁠CI CD - Build and deploy

see cloudbuild.yaml

⁠Manual deployment

⁠SCRIPTS

Set the below in the package.json

    "submit": "gcloud builds submit --tag gcr.io/[PROJECT-ID]/[IMAGE]",
    "deploy":"gcloud run deploy express --image gcr.io/[PROJECT-ID]/[IMAGE]"

Replace [PROJECT-ID] and [IMAGE] with the google cloud project name and the desired image name.

npm run submit

npm run deploy

⁠Build locally and push to google cloud platform container registry

 docker build . --tag gcr.io/[PROJECT-ID]/[IMAGE]

Replace [PROJECT-ID] with your Google Cloud project ID and replace [IMAGE] with the image name of your choice. If you have not yet configured Docker to use the gcloud command-line tool to authenticate requests to Container Registry, do so now using the command:

gcloud auth configure-docker

You need to do this before you can push or pull images using Docker. You only need to do it once. Push the container image to Container Registry:

docker push gcr.io/[PROJECT-ID]/[IMAGE]

Replace [PROJECT-ID] with your Google Cloud project ID and replace [IMAGE] with the image name you chose when you invoked docker build.
