This document explains how to do local developement and how to push changes to the siliconvalleystands.org website.

Developement

First download the Google Cloud SDK: https://cloud.google.com/sdk/downloads

After installing the Cloud SDK, install the Python App Engine tools:

gcloud components install app-engine-python

Restart your shell, then launch the development server (from the same directory as this README file):

dev_appserver.py app/ --port 7777 --host 0.0.0.0

Navigate to localhost:7777 to view the website.

Pushing Changes

To push the changes to App Engine, run:

gcloud app deploy app/app.yaml

Note that this requires you to be an editor of the Google Cloud Platform project we are using.

Also note that the command above creates a new version of the app and IMMEDIATELY starts directing traffic to the new version. If you are making a big change, pass in --no-promote to the command above so traffic doesn't go to the new version. You can switch traffic to the new version through http://console.cloud.google.com AFTER you verify that the new version works as intended.
