Deploy to Google Cloud Platform (GCP)

This tutorial will show you how to deploy your services to your own GCP project using Defang.

Pre-requisites​

Step 1 - Navigate to your project directory​

Head to the folder where your project is located.

$ cd path/to/your/project

Step 2 - Authenticate Defang to use your GCP Account​

After signing in to your GCP account, select an existing project or create a new project. Make sure billing is enabled. Then, note down the project ID and set it as environment variable GCP_PROJECT_ID.

Step 3 - Deploy​

Invoke the defang compose up CLI command with the --provider=gcp flag or set the DEFANG_PROVIDER=gcp environment variable.

For example:

$ defang compose up --provider=gcp

Step 4 - Inspect your deployment​

Defang will provision resources in your GCP account and deploy your services. You can inspect the resources created in your GCP Dashboard.
