Creating an application

  1. Directly launch the Cloud Shell Editor.
  2. From the Cloud Code status bar, select New Application. Clicking the Cloud Code status bar and choosing New Application
  3. Choose Cloud Run application as your preferred application type.
  4. From the list of templates (Node.js, Python (Flask and Django frameworks), Java, Go), choose a Hello World app in a language of your choosing.

    For example, choosing Python (Flask): Hello World will create a starter Python (Flask) Hello World app.

  5. Select a folder as your application location to proceed and click Create New Application.

    Cloud Shell Editor loads the application in a new workspace. Once reloaded, your app is accessible in the explorer view.

Deploying to Cloud Run

To deploy your application to Cloud Run, follow these steps:

  1. Choose the Deploy to Cloud Run command using the Command Palette (accessible with Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+P).

    This brings up the Cloud Run Deploy UI. Cloud Run: Run/Debug Locally UI with pre-existing service selected

  2. If prompted, authorize Cloud Shell to make Google Cloud API calls.

  3. Set your Google Cloud project.

  4. If prompted, enable the Cloud Run API by clicking Enable APIs.

  5. In the Deploy to Cloud Run dialog, select a pre-existing service or create a new one.

  6. If you're creating a new service, choose Cloud Run (fully managed) under Deployment Platform.

  7. Choose a region to deploy to.

  8. For Authentication, select Allow unauthenticated invocations to make this a public service.

  9. After you define your preferred settings, you can click Deploy.

    Cloud Code builds your image, pushes it to the registry, and deploys your app to Cloud Run. Your service is now live!

  10. View your running service by following the URL displayed in your Cloud Run: Deploy dialog.


Editing your service

To edit your application, follow these steps:

  1. With the Explorer view, find the file that implements the service behavior.
  2. Change the message "It's running!" to a message of your choosing.
  3. After you make this change, choose the Deploy to Cloud Run command using the Command Palette.
  4. Check that the service you just created is selected in Service Settings.
  5. Click Deploy.
  6. After your application finishes building and deploying, you can refresh your service to see your updated message.

Viewing logs

You can also view logs from your deployed application with the Log Viewer that comes with Cloud Code.
