Deployment

Google Cloud Environment Setup

1. Create a Google Cloud project

   • GCP_PROJECT_ID

2. Create a Cloud Storage bucket

   • GS_BUCKET_NAME - Google Cloud Storage bucket name

3. Create a Cloud SQL MySQL 2nd generation instance

   • Note the DATABASE_INSTANCE_CONNECTION_NAME

4. Create a database user

5. Create a database

6. Create 2 service accounts, create keys for them and save them in your local machine:

   • GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS - a json file containing credentials for a Google Cloud service account with the following roles:

     • Storage Object Creator

     • Storage Object Viewer

   • APP_ENGINE_DEPLOYER_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_FILE- a json file containing credentials for a Google Cloud service account with the following roles:

     • App Engine Deployer

     • App Engine Service Admin

     • Cloud Build Editor

     • Storage Object Creator

     • Storage Object Viewer

7. Create an App Engine app

App Engine Deployment

1. Set the required environment variables

2. Run ./scripts/deploy_to_app_engine.sh in a Linux terminal.

   • Use Git bash or WSL if using Windows OS.

Notes

• You need the Google Cloud SDK installed on your machine.

• App Engine currently doesn’t support Pipfile. Instead of doing the deployment manually, we recommend you use the utility script for deployment: deploy_to_app_engine.sh stored in the scripts directory. It does set up operations before deployment and clean up after deployment.
