Practice project to familiarise with Google Cloud Platform

Sinatra with Sequel

This was created as part of a Google Cloud Platform (GCP) learning project. The goal was to deploy a simple web application with a database. And along the way, appreciate the differences between AWS and GCP.

Sinatra

Ruby web application built using the Sinatra framework. Sinatra is a lighter web framework compared to Rails.

Sequel

Sequel is a simple, flexible, and powerful SQL database access toolkit for Ruby. It also includes a comprehensive ORM layer for mapping records to Ruby objects and handling associated records.

Local development environment

Prerequisite

  • Ruby 3.1.1
    • You could probably use a lower version. But you will need to update Gemfile and .ruby-gemset
    • If you are new to Ruby, I would recommend you to use Ruby Version Manager to install and manage your Ruby versions. RVM uses the .ruby-* files.
    • If you prefer asdf, feel free to add .tool-versions accordingly.
  • Bundler
  • Run bundle to install the gems dependencies

Start

Run bundle exec ruby app.rb
