Deploy a containerized app on Cloud Run

Chain the essential GCP services: build an image (Cloud Build), store it (Artifact Registry), run it serverlessly (Cloud Run), and inject your secrets safely (Secret Manager).

Cloud Run — Serverless containers

☁️ GCP Essentials · Deploy a container and forget about servers: Cloud Run runs it, scales it to zero when idle, scales up under load, and gives you an HTTPS URL.

Cloud Build — CI/CD pipelines

☁️ GCP Essentials · Google's built-in build service: on every git push, it fetches your code, builds a container, runs tests, pushes to Artifact Registry, and can deploy to Cloud Run.

Artifact Registry — Container & package storage

☁️ GCP Essentials · A private Docker registry (and npm, Maven, Python) hosted by Google. Cloud Build pushes images here, Cloud Run pulls them from here.

Secret Manager — Store secrets safely

☁️ GCP Essentials · A vault for API keys, DB passwords, and JWT secrets. Versioned, IAM-controlled, mounted as env vars in Cloud Run or fetched at build time by Cloud Build.
