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.
NOTE: This instruction assumes that a
google cloud platformbilling accountis registered with an existingproject. To run this container in google cloud platform requires agcp project idid to exist prior to following the below instructions. To get started with google cloud platform please visit google cloud platform.
Prerequisites:
- Node.js
- Docker Desktop
- gcloud account
- gcloud sdk
If the SDK is installed run gcloud config and follow the prompts. (note: you first need a google cloud account for this to work.)
see cloudbuild.yaml
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.
Building the container using cloud build
npm run submit
Deploying the built container
npm run deploy
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.
