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!

[@rprashanth1986]

Love the output from styles applied!

[@hanzvanaardt3447]

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

[@amanpreetsinghchopra3046]

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

[@irishfitz]

Depends, it's a pay as you go plan, I'd read the plan details to be the utmost clear on the topic.

[@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

[@subijoyacharya3189]

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

[@guanacodevs]

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

[@vincelupo8419]

What did your answer end up being?

[@tekanokhambane4348]

Can you please make a tutorial for hosting django applications

[@dinnertonight298]

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.

[@paulocoronado2376]

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

[@Frank_van_Puffelen]

You can't run any code on Firebase Hosting, as it only serves static content. But you can connect Firebase Hosting with either Cloud Run or Cloud Functions to get your dynamic content generated by those services hosted on Firebase.

[@brendagreen9043]

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.

[@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

[@subijoyacharya3189]

Please do a video on integrating firebase database with django website.

[@rohitkukreja8704]

Loved the fact that Google People using MicroSoft's VS Code.

[@theindianguy14]

Will that means we can use php too in cloud run with firebase hosting?

[@SterenTV]

Yes, you can run any language on Cloud Run. For a PHP sample, check out this quickstart: cloud.google.com/run/docs/quickstarts/build-and-deploy

[@di.leandro]

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

[@שחריעקב-ק9כ]

How can I deploy react app as frontend with flask-python as backend?

[@noneofyourdamnbuisness3484]

did u figure this out?

[@dennisantonyswamy7759]

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

[@abhirupdas4637]

Im migrating from heroku for a small business website in flask, can this be dome without docker/cloud run.., wht is the default domain name and can i add custom domain?

[@Marco-cx6gp]

Hey guys I want to deploy a small flask backend in firebase. Is it really free according to the limitations stated in the pricing page of their website or is there some hidden fee? Since I'm on a budget I'd like not to waste money, and yeh I'd like to use the free tier for the first months in production. Does it seem like a good idea or have any suggestions? Thank you in advance

[@monzerfaisal3673]

you can have 250k requests per month and it would still be free so don't worry

[@edimalok4707]

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

[@user-or7ji5hv8y]

What is the purpose of controlling the CDN cache?

[@zeeshanans]

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

[@workingguy3166]

Stuck at 5:45, gives me an error that service is not available but doesnt tell me why

[@abhirupdas4637]

can i bypass using cloud run and cloud build and use simply github actions??

[@Ihavetoreturnsomevideotapes]

Thank you have been waiting for a flask video so long

[@mushfiqurrahmanphdstudentn2101]

I am getting this error "(gcloud.run.deploy) spec.traffic.tag: Resource name must use only lowercase letters, numbers and '-'. Must begin with a letter and cannot end with a '-'. Maximum length is 63 characters." when I run the `gcloud run deploy` command.

[@haoweizeng6709]

Can I custom hosting region? It will increase latency if rewriting firebase.json rule and cloud run service not in US

[@Frank_van_Puffelen]

The ability to rewrite from Hosting to a specific region for Cloud Functions was actually *just* added. See the updated documentation here: firebase.google.com/docs/hosting/functions#direct-requests-to-function

[@chrish5723]

Great video, thanks.

[@Darius_K]

can i use another python libs like numpy or opencv ?

[@kanishkamrev1210]

Getting below error on 07:44
Error:404 Requested entity not found
when entering
node_modules/.bin/firebase serve
Any idea?

[@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.

[@fabianrinortner9391]

I really got stuck on implementing this.
Basically, I do the exact same thing with my angular app.
The only difference is that I use for hosting "europe-west1".
Has anyone similar issues? :)

[@mattd2185j]

I got an 503 error, also with europe-west1

[@mattd2185j]

changing the region didn't fix it though

[@kamarton]

The video is great. I think cloud run + cloudflare cdn is cheaper.

[@lemono1664]
