Discussion on deploying Sanity Studio to Google App Engine

Anyone know where I can find a tutorial or even just an example app.yaml for deploying sanity studio to google app engine?

The closest I could find was the example discussed here for an App Engine deployment. Apologies if it’s not relevant but hopefully it can provide a starting point.

I think I’m stuck on the part where I need to add a CORS origin. I tried following this and added the domain of our running service, but I’m only seeing loading forever.

Do you happen to get any errors or warnings in the browser?

i get 500s for the css and js bundles

for the first get on the domain i get

304

And in headers it says

Okay, thank you. I’ve requested help from up the chain.

oh i think i see the issue. in app engine logs there’s

sh: 1: exec: sanity: not found

i bet it’s not installing sanity cli the way it needs to in order to run

sanity start

i need to try hosting just the static dist files, not building up in the cloud. i think i can take a shot at this

Ahh, good find. I saw a case yesterday that needed

@sanity/cli

installed as a dev dependency and bet that's the case here too.

Or that too.

This is just hosting the built static files on app engine, so no server at all. I guess cost wise it would be cheaper to just upload them to a bucket 😅

I have nodejs as my runtime; should I change that to python?

sec, need to read up on the nodejs runtime on gcp. All you need is the static hosting option

https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/standard/nodejs/config/appref looks like you can do the same with node, lets see

i don’t know if it’s the same for python, but deploying a node project to app engine causes app engine to run whatever is in

npm start

by default

which is

sanity start --port=8080

for me, which is probably why it needs the cli

aha, that might break things, depending on which port app engine expects the app to listen on

Ok, I’m almost there. When I connect to /desk it loads fine. I think I just need to fix up my handler for the root

/

and I’ll be good to go.

Thanks!

Ah, sorry. Was waiting for the app update to succeed 🙂 Got this to work: https://gist.github.com/sgulseth/8b342e1427adf83378009c2c6c7761d9
