A Complete Guide to Deploying a Containerized Application Using Managed Instance Groups (MIGs) in Google Cloud (GCP) with Continuous Integration (CICD) — Part 2
In the second part of this guide, we will walk through setting up a CICD solution for client-side Javascript applications such as ReactJS that are deployed serverless in a GCP cloud storage bucket.
Scenario
We want to deploy a web application consisting of one or more frontends using a client side framework such as ReactJS which connects to one (or more) backends that have been containerized with Docker. Our backend will connect to a CloudSQL instance for storage and all environment variables will be encrypted with GCP’s Key Management Service (KMS). GIT commits to a specific branch on GitHub will trigger a build and deploy of the application. A load balancer will direct traffic and serve as a proxy for HTTPS using a managed certificate.
Pre-requisites
Setup the environment proposed in part 1 of this guide or equivalent.
Step 1: Dockerize the App
Below, we have a Dockerfile (placed in the root of the repository) that creates a docker image containing our application’s source code and installs all required NPM packages…
