Create a new service in an app engine project
Here are the steps to create a new service in an App Engine project:
Prerequisites:
- You have a Google Cloud account and a project created in the Google Cloud Console.
- You have the App Engine Java, Python, or Node.js runtime environment set up in your project.
- You have the
gcloud
command-line tool installed on your machine.
Step 1: Create a new service
In the Google Cloud Console, navigate to the App Engine section of your project.
- Click on the "Services" tab.
- Click on the "Create service" button.
- Enter a name for your new service (e.g., "my-new-service").
- Choose the runtime environment for your service (e.g., Java, Python, or Node.js).
- Click on the "Create" button.
Step 2: Configure the service
In the "Services" tab, click on the three vertical dots next to your new service and select "Edit".
- In the "Service" section, enter a description for your service.
- In the "Handler" section, select the handler class or function that will handle requests for your service.
- In the "URL" section, enter the URL prefix for your service (e.g., "/my-new-service").
- Click on the "Save" button.
Step 3: Deploy the service
To deploy your new service, run the following command in your terminal:
gcloud app deploy app.yaml
This command will deploy your App Engine project, including your new service.
Step 4: Test the service
Once your service is deployed, you can test it by sending a request to the URL prefix you specified in Step 2. For example, if your URL prefix is "/my-new-service", you can send a GET request to https://your-project-id.appspot.com/my-new-service
.
That's it! You have now created a new service in your App Engine project.
Additional tips:
- You can create multiple services in a single App Engine project.
- Each service can have its own handler class or function, and its own URL prefix.
- You can use the
gcloud app services
command to manage your services, including creating, updating, and deleting them. - You can use the
gcloud app instances
command to manage the instances of your services, including scaling and updating them.
