This project is a side project aimed at providing a simple example of a serverless application deployment using Google Cloud Run. It utilizes Docker containers for the application, with a CI/CD (which also serverless thanks to GitHub) process for seamless deployment. This project is a part of the learning journey into the serverless world.

The project implements a CI/CD process that includes building a Docker image, testing the application, and deploying it on Google Cloud Run as serverless services.

1. Import this Repository and Add Your Application:

   Import this repository to your repository and place your application code in the app/ directory. Ensure your application adheres to the necessary structure and dependencies for successful deployment on Google Cloud Run.

2. Set up GitHub Secrets: Change the relevant variables the .yaml files:

   • SERVICE_NAME: The name for the Cloud Run service.
   • TEST_SERVICE_NAME: The name for the testing Cloud Run service.

   Add the following relevant variables to your GitHub repository secrets:

   • DOCKER_USERNAME: Docker repository username.
   • DOCKER_PASSWORD: Docker repository password.
   • GCP_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_KEY: Google service account credentials.
   • PROJECT_ID: Google Cloud Platform (GCP) Project ID.
   • REGION: Google Cloud Run deployment region.

   If needed add the app variables in your GCP secrets:

   • API_KEY: API key for the application.

3. Ensure GCP Service Account Permissions:

   Ensure that the GCP service account being used for this deployment has the "Cloud Run Admin" role assigned to it for proper authorization.

4. Manual Trigger (Initial Setup):

   Execute the initial.yaml workflow manually to set up the initial deployment and ensure the Docker repository has at least one image.

5. Activate the Workflow:

   Push any changes to the main branch to automatically trigger the CI/CD process using GitHub Actions.
