Using Cloud Run with Google Identity and Access Management (IAM) to restrict access to your app based on email addresses.

Question

perhaps a basic question but suppose i want my app to be only accessible to employees or users with a certain email address. How should I deploy this app? want to make it easy for non-technical users too.

Cloud Run + Google IAP?

Could be as simple as a streamlit or gradio app with auth?

Fatum · Answer

hm thats prob true i was overthinking it 🫡

Fatum · Answer

im using railway to deploy my backend but is streamlit better? or does it serve a diff purpose?

Logan M · Answer

Different purpose I think. Railway allows you to do way more custom and fullstack stuff

Logan M · Answer

streamlit is more constrained

Fatum · Answer

i see. i just went with it bc when i googled fastAPI stuff it came up

Logan M · Answer

yea totally! Like for example when I use railway, its because I'm deploying a fastapi endpoint with a react/next.js frontend, and saving stuff to some postgres db

Fatum · Answer

right. The Google authentication part can be in my next.js frontend right?

Logan M · Answer

yea just using oauth I think
