Deploy on Google Cloud Run

Unlike AWS Lambda or Google Cloud Functions, Google Cloud Run is a serverless container environment. It's primary purpose is to provide an infrastructure-abstracted environment to run arbitrary containers. As a result, Fastify can be deployed to Google Cloud Run with little-to-no code changes from the way you would write your Fastify app normally.

Follow the steps below to deploy to Google Cloud Run if you are already familiar with gcloud or just follow their quickstart. You can also take a look at the unofficial Cloud Run FAQ.

Additional files

To make your Fastify application work with Cloud Run you need some additional files that you can find in this folder.

• Dockerfile - The image definition of your application, if you don't have native dependencies, it should work as is.
• index.js - Your application entry point, it already format the logs in a Stackdriver coompatible format
• deploy-action.yml - A GitHub action to deploy your application to Cloud Run (the environment variables needs to be stored in GitHub secrets).
• .dockerignore
• .gcloudignore

Submit build

Submit your app to be built into a Docker image by running the following command (replacing PROJECT-ID and APP-NAME with your GCP project id and an app name):

gcloud builds submit --tag gcr.io/PROJECT-ID/APP-NAME

Deploy Image

After your image has built, you can deploy it with the following command:

gcloud run deploy --image gcr.io/PROJECT-ID/APP-NAME --platform managed --allow-unauthenticated

Your app will be accessible from the URL GCP provides.
