create a google cloudrun application in javascript

To create a Google Cloud Run application written in JavaScript, follow these steps:

  1. Create a new Node.js project or choose an existing one to deploy to Cloud Run.
  2. Install the required dependencies, such as express, and write your application code accordingly.
  3. Create a Dockerfile in the root of your project with the following content:
index.tsx
# Use the official Node.js image as a parent image
FROM node:14

# Set the working directory to /app
WORKDIR /app

# Copy the package.json and package-lock.json files into the container
COPY package*.json ./

# Install the dependencies
RUN npm install

# Copy the rest of the application files into the container
COPY . .

# Make the container listen on the port specified by Cloud Run
ENV PORT=8080
EXPOSE $PORT

# Start the server.js file with Node.js
CMD [ "npm", "start" ]
477 chars
22 lines

This Dockerfile installs the dependencies and starts the server with npm.

  1. Build your Docker image:
index.tsx
docker build -t [your-image-name] .
36 chars
2 lines
  1. Push your Docker image to a container registry, such as Google Container Registry:
index.tsx
docker push [your-image-name]
30 chars
2 lines
  1. Deploy your application to Cloud Run:
index.tsx
gcloud run deploy --platform=managed --image=[your-image-name] --region=[your-region] --allow-unauthenticated [your-service-name]
130 chars
2 lines

Make sure to replace the placeholders with your own values. The --allow-unauthenticated flag is used to allow public access to your Cloud Run service.

And that's it! Your JavaScript application is now deployed on Google Cloud Run, serverless platform that automatically scales based on incoming traffic.
