All powered by nothing but CLI, Python and pure GCP muscle βοΈπβοΈ
π§± Started with a minimal Bash script for local PNG-to-JPEG conversion
β‘οΈ Turned it into a full-fledged Flask app, wrapped in a custom Dockerfile
β‘οΈ Built and deployed via gcloud run deploy –source . β no Docker engine, no Kubernetes, no CI/CD
π₯ The app spins up on Google Cloud Run, listens on dynamic $PORT, scales automatically, and is accessible worldwide via HTTPS β out of the box.
π§ No secrets, no user data β just clean public payloads, lightning-fast response, and zero infra friction
π§ Stack:
Python 3.11 Β· Flask Β· ImageMagick Β· Docker Β· Cloud Build Β· Artifact Registry Β· Cloud Run
π Result:
A blazing fast, zero-maintenance serverless JPEG conversion endpoint, callable from literally anywhere
π¦ Deployed. Alive. Immutable. Just like DevOps intended.
