I have an app that uses the following command to deploy a static app generated by create-react-app:
gcloud app deploy --project MY_PROJECT -v dev
After that, my app is available on myproject.appstop.com.
But I don't figure out how to deploy this app using a diff URL for each environment. Like.: dev.myproject.appspot.com, stg.myproject.com and so on.
If you know or have other ideas about how to solve this please share your thoughts.
It depends on what you understand by environment. I would definitely recommend you to create different projects for the different environments (my-project-dev, my-project-staging, my-project-test, my-project-prod...)
If you just want to have a different url for your deployment, you are doing ok by using the -v (version parameter).
Once you've deployed again:
gcloud app deploy --project MY_PROJECT -v test
you'll have both versions accessible at:
Also, check Dan's answer below as it contains very relevant info.
To complement @MarCialR's answer, you can use SSL as well, but with *-dot-* URLs like https://test-dot-myproject.appspot.com, see Targeted routing.
But personally I'm not a big fan of a version-based environment, it brings trouble, see Continuous integration/deployment/delivery on Google App Engine, too risky?
I chose to implement environments at app level - each environment as a different app, each with its own URL. See Advantages of implementing CI/CD environments at GAE project/app level vs service/module level?
Since I'm using a wildcard custom-domain SSL certificate I'm simply mapping the different apps (environments) to different hosts/subdomains in my custom domain - thus ensuring everything works as expected with a custom domain at every point in the CI/CD pipeline, no surprises in production.
