Deploy your Express app to Google Cloud Platform
Step-by-step deployment help for Express apps on Google Cloud Platform. We fix Express-specific deployment issues, configure Google Cloud Platform, and get your app live. From $19.
Express issues we fix before deploying
Common Express problems that affect Google Cloud Platform deployments.
No helmet middleware for security headers
Express apps without the helmet middleware are missing critical security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and HSTS, leaving the app vulnerable to common web attacks.
Missing input validation and sanitization
Request body, query params, and URL params used directly without validation. No express-validator, zod, or joi — enabling injection attacks and unexpected crashes.
Unstructured error handling
No global error-handling middleware. Errors either crash the process, leak stack traces to clients, or get silently swallowed with no logging.
CORS set to allow all origins
The cors() middleware called with no options, defaulting to allowing requests from any website — a security risk for APIs that handle user data.
Google Cloud Platform deployment issues we check for
Common Google Cloud Platform problems that break Express apps in production.
Cloud Run container port misconfigured
Cloud Run injects the PORT environment variable, but AI-generated Dockerfiles hardcode port 3000 or 8080, causing the container to fail health checks and never become healthy.
Service account with Owner role
AI-generated deployment scripts use the default compute service account with overly broad Owner permissions instead of custom roles scoped to required APIs.
Cloud Run concurrency set to 1
Default concurrency of 1 request per container instance causes excessive scaling and costs. AI tools don't optimize concurrency settings for the application's actual threading model.
VPC connector not attached for private resources
Cloud Run services can't reach Cloud SQL or Memorystore instances in a VPC because AI-generated configs omit the Serverless VPC Access connector.

Frequently asked questions
How do I deploy a Express app to Google Cloud Platform?
We handle Express deployments to Google Cloud Platform end to end. Start with our code audit ($19) to identify deployment blockers specific to your Express project, then we configure Google Cloud Platform, fix issues, and get your app live in production.
What Express issues affect Google Cloud Platform deployments?
Express projects commonly have no helmet middleware for security headers and missing input validation and sanitization. On Google Cloud Platform, these combine with cloud run container port misconfigured and service account with owner role to cause deployment failures.
Can SpringCode deploy my Express project to Google Cloud Platform?
Yes. We specialize in deploying Express applications to Google Cloud Platform. We audit your codebase for Express-specific issues, configure Google Cloud Platform correctly, and handle the full deployment so your app runs reliably in production.
What does Express deployment to Google Cloud Platform cost?
Our code audit ($19) identifies all Google Cloud Platform deployment blockers in your Express project. Full deployment assistance is scoped with a fixed quote after the audit — no hourly billing or surprise charges.
