How Do I Deploy A Project In GCP?

There are many advantages to deploying an application on the Google Cloud, including excellent reliability and cheap maintenance costs. In this article, we will provide the steps to deploy a project in GCP.

Steps To Deploy A Project In GCP

1. GCP Account Login

In order to carry out the deployment process, we need to log in to the Google Cloud. We can use the below code:

gcloud auth login

2. Deployment To Google Cloud Functions

We can deploy the applications to the cloud functions using extensions. Each extension enables the development of a particular type of application. Some of the extensions include Google Cloud Functions, Google Cloud Functions HTTP binding, and Funky Google Cloud Functions.

3. Deployment To App Engine

1. We must have an App Engine environment for the app. If don’t have one, then we can use the below code to create it.

gcloud app create --project=[YOUR_PROJECT_ID]

2. Next, we need to create a src/main/appengine/app.yaml file. The selected engine is runtime: java11. Now the App Engine application will have a default service.

3. Some java framework default packaging layout is not supported by the engine standard, we must set the application to be packaged as an uber-jar using the application.properties file.

4. Lastly, we can start with application development. We can do it manually, or by using Google Cloud.

(i) Manual development: We can use Apache Maven for this purpose.

• Firstly, we must use mvn clean package to make a JAR to include all the application classes and its dependencies.
• Then use the below code to deploy the app and start it in the engine.

  gcloud app deploy target/getting-started-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT-runner.jar
• We will get the URL from the output. We can use gcloud app browse to access it via the browser.

(ii) Development using gcloud: It is the easiest way to build the app. In the root of the App, start gcloud app deploy which will start a file uploading process. Then it will package the JAR via Maven and initiate it on the Engine. The URL will appear in the output. We can use gcloud app browse to access it via the browser.

For any questions regarding the deployment using the gcloud, the GCP Support Email or Google Cloud Support Chat Services can provide additional support.
