Spring Framework on Google Cloud

This project makes it easy for Spring users to run their applications on Google Cloud. You can check our project website here.

For a deep dive into the project, refer to the Spring Framework on Google Cloud Reference documentation or Javadocs:

Google Cloud Reference Documentation:

Javadocs: https://googleapis.dev/java/spring-cloud-gcp/latest/index.html

If you prefer to learn by doing, try taking a look at the Spring Framework on Google Cloud sample applications or the Spring on Google Cloud codelabs.

Currently, this repository provides support for:

Spring Initializr

Spring Initializr contains Spring Framework on Google Cloud auto-configuration support through the GCP Support entry.

GCP Messaging contains the Spring Framework on Google Cloud messaging support with Google Cloud Pub/Sub working out of the box.

Similarly to GCP Messaging, GCP Storage contains the Google Cloud Storage support with no other dependencies needed.

Spring Framework on Google Cloud Bill of Materials (BOM)

If you’re a Maven user, add our BOM to your pom.xml <dependencyManagement> section. This will allow you to not specify versions for any of the Maven dependencies and instead delegate versioning to the BOM.

<dependencyManagement>
    <dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>com.google.cloud</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-cloud-gcp-dependencies</artifactId>
            <version>8.1.1</version>
            <type>pom</type>
            <scope>import</scope>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>

Snapshots Repository

We do not publish SNAPSHOT versions of the project. If you would like to test out the latest snapshot, please clone this repository and install locally.

Spring Boot Starters

Spring Boot greatly simplifies the Spring Framework on Google Cloud experience. Our starters handle the object instantiation and configuration logic so you don’t have to.

Every starter depends on the GCP starter to provide critical bits of configuration, like the GCP project ID or OAuth2 credentials location. You can configure these as properties in, for example, a properties file:

spring.cloud.gcp.project-id=[YOUR_GCP_PROJECT_ID]
spring.cloud.gcp.credentials.location=file:[LOCAL_PRIVATE_KEY_FILE]
spring.cloud.gcp.credentials.scopes=[SCOPE_1],[SCOPE_2],[SCOPE_3]

These properties are optional and, if not specified, Spring Boot will attempt to automatically find them for you. For details on how Spring Boot finds these properties, refer to the documentation.

Note	If your app is running on Google App Engine or Google Compute Engine, in most cases, you should omit the `spring.cloud.gcp.credentials.location` property and, instead, let the Spring Framework on Google Cloud Core Starter find the correct credentials for those environments.
