Create new service in gcp app engine application

Here are the steps to create a new service in a GCP App Engine application:

Prerequisites:

  1. You have a GCP account and a project created.
  2. You have the gcloud command-line tool installed and configured.
  3. You have a GCP App Engine application created and deployed.

Step 1: Create a new service

Run the following command to create a new service:

gcloud app services create <service-name> --platform standard

Replace <service-name> with the name you want to give your new service. For example:

gcloud app services create my-new-service --platform standard

This command will create a new service with the specified name and deploy it to the standard environment.

Step 2: Configure the service

You can configure the new service by editing the app.yaml file in your project directory. Add the following code to the services section:

services:
- name: my-new-service
  env: standard
  runtime: python
  instance_class: F1
  handlers:
  - url: /.*
    script: auto

This code defines the new service with the name my-new-service, sets the environment to standard, runtime to python, instance class to F1, and specifies that the service should handle all requests (/*) using the auto handler.

Step 3: Deploy the service

Run the following command to deploy the new service:

gcloud app deploy app.yaml

This command will deploy the new service to the GCP App Engine platform.

Step 4: Verify the service

Once the service is deployed, you can verify that it is working by sending a request to the service URL. For example:

curl https://my-new-service-dot-my-project-id.appspot.com/

Replace my-new-service with the name of your new service, and my-project-id with the ID of your GCP project.

That's it! You have now created a new service in your GCP App Engine application.
