App engine create new app

Here's a step-by-step guide to creating a new App Engine app:

Prerequisites:

  1. You have a Google account.
  2. You have the Google Cloud SDK installed on your machine.
  3. You have Python 3.7 or later installed on your machine (if you're using Python as your runtime).

Step 1: Create a new project

  1. Go to the Google Cloud Console: https://console.cloud.google.com/
  2. Click on "Select a project" and then click on "New Project".
  3. Enter a project name, select an organization (if applicable), and click on "Create".

Step 2: Enable the App Engine API

  1. In the sidebar, click on "APIs & Services" and then click on "Dashboard".
  2. Search for "App Engine" and click on the result.
  3. Click on the "Enable" button.

Step 3: Create a new App Engine app

  1. In the sidebar, click on "App Engine" and then click on "Create App Engine App".
  2. Select the project you created in Step 1.
  3. Choose the runtime you want to use (e.g., Python, Java, Node.js, etc.).
  4. Enter a unique app ID (e.g., myapp).
  5. Choose the region where you want to deploy your app (e.g., us-central1).
  6. Click on "Create".

Step 4: Set up your app

  1. In the App Engine console, click on the "Navigation menu" (three horizontal lines in the top left corner) and select "App Engine".
  2. Click on the "App" tab and then click on "Settings".
  3. Set up your app's settings, such as the default language, timezone, and more.

Step 5: Create a new directory for your app

  1. Create a new directory for your app (e.g., myapp).
  2. Navigate to the directory in your terminal or command prompt.

Step 6: Initialize your app

  1. Run the following command to initialize your app:
    gcloud app create --region <region> --project <project-id>

    Replace <region> with the region you chose in Step 3, and <project-id> with the project ID you created in Step 1.

Step 7: Create a new file structure

  1. Create a new directory called app inside your app directory.
  2. Create a new file called app.yaml inside the app directory.

Step 8: Configure your app.yaml file

  1. Open the app.yaml file and add the following code:
    
    runtime: python37
    env: flex

handlers:

Step 9: Start developing your app

  1. Create a new file called main.py inside the app directory.
  2. Write your app's code in main.py.
  3. Run the following command to start your app:
    gcloud app run

    This will start your app in the development server.

That's it! You've created a new App Engine app. You can now deploy your app to App Engine using the gcloud app deploy command.
