Need help tracing a road map in GCP for python web app deployment

[Guanaco Devs]

Hi, First of all sorry if this is not the right place to post this, but I really need some guidance.

I want to build a web app with python and deploy it using GCP. My web app will be for e-commerce, I want to build it from scratch and plan to maintain it for as long as I live.
Due to the broad range of products in GCP I really don't know how to start, for instance "Flask vs. Django"(I'm already building my app with Flask). Then is, where or how to deploy it?, not the procedure, but the GCP product that might be a good fit for my needs.

I started with Firebase for Android and I'm quite familiar with all the "Development" products of Firebase I use them across my released apps with a 100% satisfaction, that's why I want to use Firestore/RTDB, Storage and Firebase Auth. Tried Wordpress(mostly to make the html and css easier for me) but drop it, because I felt that there were so many things out of my control and I did not find a way to integrate my Firebase knowledge with wordpress.

Thanks to my Firebase experience I learned basic python, javascript for my functions and have a good amount of bash scripts that help me maintain the backend for my products, without having to be in front of the computer and got to get familliar with `gcloud` and the cloud console.

Yet I fail to find what product is the best for me to deploy a python web app, should I go GAE, get a VM, Kubernetes, cloud run, is just so many products that I believe are good.

Best Regards

Hello Edgard,

Google provides many ways to allow your application to live on GCP. Depending on your use case, there are options with advantages and disadvantages.

Can you provide more details on your use case? This will help the community to advise you.

Hi Elliot

I have an android app that is built for the owner of a shop to sell its products to their users, makes posts to social media, admins can make posts and users can browse and buy, I'm going for the web app because in this day and age if you have no web presence you really have nothing and I want to manage(post, sales) the project from the android app.

All about web development for me(javascript, html & css) is very basic, but I'm confident I can make it with the help of GPC.

My issue is exactly what you stated, "Google provides many ways", should I start with GAE and later move to another product like Containers(of which I'm blank) or VM's once I get more knowledge?.

My issue here is were to deploy it to get started, rather than how to build it.

Thank You & Best Regards
