Serverless containers have revolutionized application deployment. In April 2021, I gave a GDG Presentation introducing developers to containerization and serverless hosting using Google Cloud Build and Cloud Run.
This talk served as a beginner-to-intermediate guide for developers looking to move beyond traditional VM hosting. I demonstrated how to build and deploy containerized applications automatically using Google Cloud services.
Key Takeaways:
- Containerization Basics: Writing lightweight Dockerfiles for web applications.
- CI/CD Triggers: Setting up Cloud Build to compile containers on git push.
- Serverless Scale-to-Zero: Deploying to Cloud Run to eliminate idle server costs.
- Secret Management: Injecting environment variables and configurations securely.
