Deploying Apps (App Engine & Cloud Run)

Last Updated: 10th September, 2026

You’ve built an amazing app

It works perfectly on your laptop… but now you want the world to use it

The challenge:

  • Where will it run?
  • How will it scale?
  • Who manages the servers?

Instead of worrying about infrastructure, you deploy using:

  • App Engine → Simple & automatic
  • Cloud Run → Flexible & container-based

Your app goes live in minutes
