gcpohoy

A node-module that helps you deploy, monitor and rollback your (mainly GCP) services managed with Terraform.

Requirements

To run this package successfully you need GCloud CLI and Terraform:

• Install GCloud CLI: https://cloud.google.com/sdk/docs/install
• Install Terraform: brew install terraform
  • Or download from https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/downloads

Install

Install this script in the project(s) you want it or globally. Note that conflicts with node version might occur when installing globally

• npm i @bonniernews/gcpohoy
• npm i @bonniernews/gcpohoy -g

Usage

In a project running Terraform and GCloud with Expressen's standard setup you can run for example:

• gcpohoy help
• gcpohoy login
• gcpohoy deploy <environment>
• gcpohoy rollback <environment> -r <revision>
• gcpohoy forward-db <environment> -p <port> -s <secret_pw_name>

You can run --help for any given command to see all available arguments/options:

• gcpohoy deploy <environment> --help

Multi Cloud Run projects

This package handles multi-cloudrun projects (Note: Uses the same docker image with different args)

• gcpohoy deploy <environment> - Default: Deploys all cloud runs it can find in Terraform.

To manage your services use --serviceName (-s)

• gcpohoy <deploy|changes|status> <environment> -s <service-name>
• gcpohoy status <environment> -s <service-name>

Note: gcpohoy apply doesn't support --serviceName flag, it runs everything.

Rollback works the same:

• gcpohoy rollback <environment> -s <service-name> -r <revision>

CI/CD (Github Actions)

Detailed instructions found here examples/workflow-example.md

gcpohoy can easily be used in CI/CD with the benefit of working mostly the same as locally.

• gcpohoy needs to be installed in the project and not globally for it to work in CI/CD.
• Since gcpohoy don't have access to terraform in the cloud you need to point out serviceName and projectId
• View caveats in examples/workflow-example.md

A final deploy step using gcpohoy can look something like:

- name: "Deploy"
    run: npm run deploy ${{inputs.environment}} -- --serviceName=layout-service-${{inputs.environment}} --projectId=${{secrets.gcp-project-id}}
