FastAPI on GCP App Engine

#fastapi #gcp #python

I made a 20 min video (link at the bottom) that demonstrates how to deploy a simple FastAPI app to App Engine on Google Cloud Platform.
This tutorial can be followed along to practice on your own provided that you have a billing enabled GCP account.
This tutorials covers very basic details like

Creating a project in GCP,
Accessing the Cloud shell,
Clone the repository on to Cloud Shell VM,
Do a Sanity hosting of the FastAPI on Cloud Shell VM and explain about worker processes
Create an App Engine
Deploy FastAPI on to App Engine
Check Logs of App Engine
Clean up and Shutdown Project once practiced the tutorial.

Some notes about billing

I have performed this deployment and shutdown the project after I'm done with deployment and learning a couple of months ago. So no bill has been generated for me. I do not even have credits active at the time of performing this tutorial.
