Trigger a Cloud Run Build/Deploy with a remote Trigger/Webhookin Google Cloud

I've current got a NextJS app connected that I would like to migrate over to Google Cloud Run.

Right now, the sight is majority static generated pages--in the build process next does static generation and discovery for most of the pages. These pages often don't update for weeks at a time.

While hosting it on Vercel, I was able to setup the app to rebuild and deploy whenever a webhook was triggered. This allowed the site to rebuild and generate all the static pages if a copy change was made, without needing to push something to Github or push a button.

We're looking to move a lot of our work over to GCP soon, and I'm looking to see how I can replicate this functionality. Currently, the only trigger I can set within GCP Console seems to be a push/commit event for the attached repo--nothing else.

I'm not sure if this is possible? It appears that Azure and AWS both have the ability to setup triggers based on webhooks, but as far as I can tell that feature is completely absent in GCP.

The only thing I can think of is setting up a cloud function or making a consumer for the CMS webhook that will make and empty commit and push it to trigger a rebuild--but I'm hoping there's SOMETHING more sane out there than this.

Thanks

Cloud run is much more flexible that a cloud function (and a bit more expensive unless you can run it concurrently) and you can test locally your microservice.

You can trigger cloud run:

  • From an HTTPS get/post (it will use a special URL)
  • From cloud build.
  • From a pub/sub message (wich can be also generated by google cloud storage notification - just drop/update/delete a file).

You might find this useful:

1 - Codelab (google cloud tutorial) Cloud Run Hello - deploying a NodeJS app in Cloud Run.

2 - This google blog post Using Cloud Run as a Webhook for Actions it's a Java code example; but ilustrates very well how to work with Cloud Run.

3 - This might be similar to your use case: Automatic Deployment of Hugo Sites on Firebase Hosting and Drafts on Cloud Run
