create a webserver and deploy to cloud run in go

To create a Go web server, you can use the built-in net/http package. Here's an example code snippet:

main.go
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"net/http"
)

func main() {
	// Define the request handler function.
	handler := func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
		fmt.Fprintf(w, "Hello, World!")
	}

	// Start the web server and listen for incoming requests.
	if err := http.ListenAndServe(":8080", http.HandlerFunc(handler)); err != nil {
		fmt.Println(err)
	}
}

Next, to deploy the web server to Cloud Run, you can follow these steps:

  1. Build a container image for your web server using a Dockerfile. Here's a sample Dockerfile:

    main.go
    FROM golang:1.16
    
    WORKDIR /app
    
    COPY . .
    
    RUN go build -o server .
    
    EXPOSE 8080
    
    CMD ["./server"]
    
    98 chars
    12 lines

    This Dockerfile uses Go version 1.16 as the base image, copies the current directory into the container, builds the web server and exposes port 8080.

  2. Push the container image to a container registry. For example, you can use Google Cloud Container Registry (GCR) by running:

    main.go
    gcloud builds submit --tag gcr.io/PROJECT_ID/server
    
    52 chars
    2 lines

    Replace PROJECT_ID with your actual GCP Project ID.

  3. Deploy the container image to Cloud Run. Run the following command:

    main.go
    gcloud run deploy --image gcr.io/PROJECT_ID/server --platform managed
    
    70 chars
    2 lines

    Replace PROJECT_ID with your actual GCP Project ID.

That's it! Your Go web server is now deployed to Cloud Run and can be accessed at the URL provided by the gcloud run deploy command.
