Google Cloud Resources - APIs

Nitric APIs are deployed to Google Cloud using API Gateway.

Google Cloud Resources

The following resources are created when deploying APIs to Google Cloud:

• API Gateway
• Cloud Run
• GCR

Deployment

During deployment, the Nitric CLI builds your API's routes, methods, and handlers. They are built as follows:

• Files referenced by the handlers key in the nitric.yaml file are built into container images
• Built container images are pushed to the Google Container Registry as private images
• Container Images are deployed as Cloud Run applications.
• All route/handler mappings are built into an Open API v2 (Swagger) definition file (Google Cloud API Gateway does not support v3).
• Your applications will be routed to using Google Clouds Open API Extensions x-google-backend.
• The API definition and Resource Group is deployed to API Gateway.
