Lecture 19

Resources

In this class, we will see in detail how to deploy code on the google cloud to obtain a very scalable serving environment for your web application.

New pydal

In order to enable deplying to the cloud, you need to use pydal in version at least

pydal >= 20200531.3

You can either do the modification yourself to requirements.txt in py4wev, or you can get the luca-new-gae-requirements branch, which contains the change already. There is a PR outstanding for py4web that will go in very soon.

Starter code

The gcloud_start app contains starter code for deploying to the cloud.

The most important files are:

• The README.md file contains a very detailed step to step explanation of how to configure the cloud services and push the code to the cloud. Please read it.
• settings.py and common.py contain some settings you need to use.
