GoogleCloudPlatform/deploystack-serverless-e2e-photo-sharing-app

Build an serverless end-to-end photo sharing application with Google Cloud

This deploystack will help you create a scalable end-to-end photo-sharing application with 11 Google Cloud, Terraform, and Django.

Architecture

architecture

Components created:

  • Cloud Run - which will run the app as the main server.
  • Cloud SQL - To store relational database such as user info, posts.
  • Cloud Storage - To store non-relational database such as post media.
  • Cloud Load Balancer - To server traffic with multiple regions.
  • Cloud DNS - To map custom domain and handle requests from your local machines everytime you go to the url.
  • Cloud Build - apply DevOps CI/CD to automatically deploy your app from gcloud.
  • Secret Manager - To improve the security of the app.
  • Cloud VPC - To connect Cloud SQL with Cloud Run via private network.
  • Cloud DNS - to store static cache for faster connections.
  • Translation API - to translate the post caption if it is in another language.
  • Container Registry - to store, manage, and secure your Docker container images.

What you can do with this app:

  • Create post with media and caption
  • Search users
  • View newsfeed
  • Follow other users
  • Change profile picture
  • Translate the post caption to English

Cleanup

To remove all billing components from the project

  1. Remove componets with terraform apply -auto-approve -var=project=${PROJECT}
  2. Typing deploystack uninstall

How to run

1. Create project with billing enabled, and configure gcloud for that project

export PROJECT_ID=foobar
gcloud config set project $PROJECT_ID

2. Configure default credentials (allows Terraform to apply changes):

gcloud auth application-default login

To double check, run gcloud auth list To set active account, run gcloud config set account ACCOUNT

3. Enable base services:

gcloud services enable \
  cloudbuild.googleapis.com \
  run.googleapis.com \
  vpcaccess.googleapis.com

4. Build base image

gcloud builds submit

5. Run ./test

Check the output url from Cloud Run

Local deployment:

  1. Go to Cloud SQL to get your connection name. It should be in the format: {PROJECT_ID}:{SQL_INSTANCE_REGION}:{SQL_INSTANCE_NAME}
  2. In another terminal, run ./cloud_sql_proxy -instances={CONNECTION_NAME}=tcp:0.0.0.0:8002
  3. Run PRODUCTION_MODE="local" python3 manage.py runserver --insecure 0.0.0.0:8080 to run the app locally and connect to Cloud SQL.

Django models migration

  1. Follow steps in local deployment

  2. On your app's terminal, run**PRODUCTION_MODE="local" python3 manage.py migrate

  3. Build base image to push new changes to Container Registry

    gcloud builds submit
    
  4. Run ./test

    Check the output url from Cloud Run with new changes
