Covers project setup, database migrations, model and route definitions, CORS handling via Rocket Fairings, Dockerizing with a multi-stage build, pushing to Google Container Registry, and deploying to Cloud Run. Also includes a brief performance benchmark showing ~500ms latency due to Cloud Run overhead, with notes on cost efficiency and scalability. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
