Deploy Fast API on GCP Compute Engine VM Instance

Run your Fast API on GCP VM Instance and make a postman request to test if it’s running and publicly available

Welcome to our comprehensive guide on deploying FastAPI applications on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) Compute Engine VM instances! FastAPI is a modern, high-performance web framework for building APIs with Python, and GCP offers a reliable and scalable infrastructure for running your applications.

ARV Creation

In this tutorial, we’ll walk you through the process of setting up a GCP VM instance, configuring the necessary firewall rules, and deploying a sample FastAPI application. By the end of this guide, you’ll have a fully functional FastAPI application running on a GCP VM instance, accessible via a public IP address, and ready to be tested using Postman or any other API client.
