Deploy Python on Firebase Hosting with Cloud Run - Firecasts

Welcome to a new episode of Firecasts, today we’re going to be using Firebase Hosting and Cloud Run to host a flask server. Find out what Cloud Run is, how you can deploy Python on Firebase Hosting with Docker, and more on this episode with our Firebase Developer Advocate David East.

Excellent video - thank you for spending the time to say so much in so little time.

[Ihavetoreturnsomevideotapes]

Thank you have been waiting for a flask video so long

I got the 503 error code. Turns out my Docker wasn't working locally either. When fixed I could push it to the EuropeWest server. Works like a charm!

What is difference between this and using Firebase cloud functions? Just the choice of language?

[MONTYJONTYofficial]

Hey this was not hard but I am confused for doing same as this in my Django project. When I contacted Firebase by mail they sent me this video link

This is amazing! I am so grateful for Google. This is undoubtedly the best hosting platform out there based on what I'm looking for and I just want to say that learning about Google Firebase has really made my week, and I can't wait to learn it. Have an amazing day, and if you reply to this, include a pizza place nearby and a place I should send it to at a specific time in the near future and I'll order you guys a pizza.

Thank you. Please do a video on deploying Django on Firebase.

[tekanokhambane]

Can you please make a tutorial for hosting django applications

[zeeshanans]

Is there any way I can pick different region without extra latency?

[amanpreetsinghchopra]

Thanks!! Have been waiting from a long time for this. Just to clarify....will I be charged for using the cloud run?

[dennisantonyswamy]

So is cloud run and build going to be an alternative for SSR app?

[brendagreen]

What editor are you using? I'm using MU and I cannot do anything that you are doing on screen. All I can do is write the codes but I cannot access the folders or create the folders like you are doing.

Great video! But why running dynamic content through Cloud Run if you can just run it via Firebase Hosting? Thanks!!

[edimalok]

is there a way to split traffic between more than one version in firebase hosting

[somayajisubs]

firebase hosting are hosted in uscentral1 region, care while selecting cloud run and firestore, we are locked to uscentral1 if you are using firbase hosting, we can't use firestore from other than uscentral1 because of latency

What's the benefit of deploying the web app to Cloud Run instead of App Engine? The CDN cache?
Wanted to use a subdomain for dynamic links while my static site was being hosted in Firebase Hosting, couldn't make it work so I removed the Hosting from Firebase and created a Web app to host it in App Engine.
At the moment I find this overly complicated(Compared to deploy to GAE), but I can see the benefit of the CDN Cache can I do something similar in GAE or it has to be a container?

You guys always post answers to my needs a month after I found a solution :D :D

[di.leandro]

Can I integrate my python backend with POST/GET requests to my frontend using this method?

[orjihvy]

What is the purpose of controlling the CDN cache?

[hykathon]

Does anyone know how I can debug cloud run code locally?
I'd like to load firebase hosting's init.json from cloud run, but in local, it does not work.
