A ridiculously simple example of how to use Google Cloud storage on App Engine and Flask for when you just need to start making stuff.

Ridiculously Simple Google Cloud Storage on App Engine + Flask

A ridiculously simple example of how to use Google Cloud Storage with App Engine and Flask.

Setup

Install:

• Python 3.9
• Google Cloud SDK
• pip

Install python libraries: pip install

Edit main.py to include your Cloud Storage bucket name. Note that App Engine instances include a default bucket with the name .appspot.com.

Local server server

python main.py

However, Cloud Storage is not simulated on a local dev server so there's no much point running this code locally.

Deploying

Replace [app id] with your very own App Engine id.

gcloud app deploy app.yaml --project [app id] --version 1

Why did I do this?

This is part of a series of ridiculously simple, executable code examples.

Sometimes we need to cut through the documentation jungle and start making stuff.
