GCP: Cloud Run

In this step-by-step guide, we'll guide you how to deploy your VulcanSQL project to Google Cloud Platform(GCP) using Cloud Run. It's a service that we can build and deploy containerized apps written in any language(including Go, Python, Java, Node.js, .Net, and Ruby) on a fully managed platform.

For more detailed information of the deployment process, you can read more here.

Step 1: Install and setup the Google Cloud CLI​

Before you begin to use Cloud Run on GCP, you need to do several things:

  1. In the Google Cloud console, on the project selector page, select or create a Google Cloud project.
  2. Make sure the billing is enabled for your Google Cloud project.
  3. Install the Google Cloud CLI.
  4. Initialize the gcloud CLI with the folowwing command:
    gcloud init
  5. You can set the default project for your Cloud Run service with the following command:
    gcloud config set project [PROJECT_ID]

For more detailed instructions on how to setup the environment, you can read more here.

Step 2: Package your VulcanSQL project​

In this guide, we'll deploy the Docker version of your VulcanSQL project. So please execute the following command in the terminal:

vulcan package --output docker

After executing the command, you'll see a message shown like below and a new directory dist in the project directory.

2023-08-07 08:47:26.246  INFO  [CORE] Package successfully, you can go to "dist" folder and run "docker build ." to build the image. 
✔ Package successfully.

The directory structure of dist is as following:

dist
├── Dockerfile
├── config.json
├── index.js
├── package.json
└── result.json

Step 3: Deploy to Cloud Run from source​

Now you can deploy you VulcanSQL app to GCP with the following command:

gloud run deploy [YOUR_CLOUDRUN_SERVICE_NAME] --port=3000 --allow-unauthenticated
caution

Important: This quickstart assumes that you have owner or editor roles in the project you are using for the quickstart. Otherwise, refer to Cloud Run deployment permissions, Cloud Build permissions, and Artifact Registry permissions for the permissions required.

After successfully deploy the app, you'll see a similar message in the terminal:

Service [vulcansql-project] revision [vulcansql-project-00001-mud] has been deployed and is serving 100 percent of traffic.
Service URL: https://vulcansql-project-ggcxvljfba-df.a.run.app

Congratulations! Now your VulcanSQL app is on the cloud and is ready to be shared to the world!
