How to deploy Spring Boot Application on Google Cloud Run using Cloud Build - ANIL LALAM

#springboot #googlecloud #cicd #serverless

Spring Boot is one of the most popular frameworks for building Java-based Microservices. With Google Cloud Run, you can deploy your Spring boot application in a server less, fully managed environment without worrying about provisioning servers, scaling or infrastructure management.

In this article, I will walk you step-by-step through deploying a spring Boot application to Cloud Run.

GitHub:
https://github.com/lalamanil/IntegratingAccidentPredictionModelOfVideo.git

Prerequisite:

A Google Cloud account with billing enabled
Google Cloud SDK installed locally
A simple Spring Boot application (Source Code)

Step 1: Verify gcloud Installation and Project Configuration

First, make sure the Google Cloud CLI (gcloud) is installed and accessible:

gcloud - version

Then Check the currently active project

gcloud config get-value project

If you need to set a project

gcloud config set project

Finally, set the default compute region and zone (Optional but recommended)

gcloud config set compute/region us-central1

gcloud config set compute/zone us-central1-a

STEP:2 Verify Required APIS are Enabled

Before deploying, ensure the required services are enabled in your project.

Check enabled services

gcloud services list --enabled

If any are missing, enable them using below commands:

gcloud services enable artifactregistry.googleapis.com
gcloud services enable cloudbuild.googleapis.com
gcloud services enable run.googleapis.com
gcloud services enable compute.googleapis.com

STEP:3 Create an Artifact Registry Repository

Artifact Registry is the recommended place to store your Docker Image

gcloud artifacts repositories list

Create the repository:

gcloud artifacts repositories create springboot-docker-repo --repository-format=docker --location=us-central1 --description="Docker repo for Spring Boot images"

Verify:

gcloud artifacts repositories list

STEP:4 Create a multi stage Docker File in Spring boot Application

In the root of your Spring Boot project, add a Dockerfile:

STEP:5 Build and Push the Docker image Using Cloud Build

Instead of building locally with Docker, you can use **Cloud Build **to build and push the image directly to Artifact Registry.

Set the directory path to root folder of your spring boot application

Checking Artifact repository if any images are already present.

gcloud artifacts docker images list us-central1-docker.pkg.dev/videoanalyzer-455321/springboot-docker-repo

Build & Push:

gcloud builds submit --tag=us-central1-docker.pkg.dev/videoanalyzer-455321/springboot-docker-repo/cloudrunspringbootdeploy:v1

This command will:

Build the docker image in Google Cloud
Tag it with the specified Artifact Registry path
Push it automatically to your Artifact Registry repository

** Verify:**
Image is created and pushed to artifact registry

STEP:6 Deploy to Cloud Run

Delpoy the container directly from Artifact Registry

*gcloud run deploy springboot-service --image=us-central1-docker.pkg.dev/videoanalyzer-455321/springboot-docker-repo/cloudrunspringbootdeploy:v1 --region=us-central1 --allow-unauthenticated *
