Google Cloud Setup

Enable Needed Google Cloud Services

There are a handful of services you’ll need to activate in your Google Cloud project in order to use the API Gateway:

• API Gateway API
• Service Management API
• Service Control API
• Cloud Run*

* Required for this specific tutorial, but not necessary if you’re using a different service to host your API.
