All powered by nothing but CLI, Python and pure GCP muscle โ๏ธ๐โ๏ธ
๐งฑ Started with a minimal Bash script for local PNG-to-JPEG conversion
โก๏ธ Turned it into a full-fledged Flask app, wrapped in a custom Dockerfile
โก๏ธ Built and deployed via gcloud run deploy –source . โ no Docker engine, no Kubernetes, no CI/CD
๐ฅ The app spins up on Google Cloud Run, listens on dynamic $PORT, scales automatically, and is accessible worldwide via HTTPS โ out of the box.
๐ง No secrets, no user data โ just clean public payloads, lightning-fast response, and zero infra friction
๐ง Stack:
Python 3.11 ยท Flask ยท ImageMagick ยท Docker ยท Cloud Build ยท Artifact Registry ยท Cloud Run
๐ Result:
A blazing fast, zero-maintenance serverless JPEG conversion endpoint, callable from literally anywhere
๐ฆ Deployed. Alive. Immutable. Just like DevOps intended.
