Deploying Your Application on the Google Cloud
You have come a long way in designing and developing your GenAI application. Now, it is time to take that next crucial step—deployment. While a true production-grade deployment involves various complexities such as CI/CD pipelines, scalability considerations, observability, cost optimization, and security hardening, this chapter is designed to give you a foundational, hands-on introduction to cloud deployment using Google Cloud Run. Cloud Run by Google Cloud provides a powerful yet developer-friendly way to deploy containerized applications without managing infrastructure, making it ideal for rapid prototyping and small-scale production use cases.
The deployment steps and services may vary slightly across other cloud platforms, such as AWS or Microsoft Azure, but we will focus on Google Cloud for brevity. However, once you are comfortable with the core concepts here, you are encouraged to experiment with similar workflows on...
