Dart Microservice with Google Cloud Platform
summary
Builds a tiny Dart microservice using Dart shelf with a generated router, packages the app into Docker, pushes to Artifact Registry and deploys to Cloud Run via gcloud. Demonstrates a stateful counter endpoint (resets on restart), hits a hardcoded-port bug early, and notes Cloud Run free tier at 2 million requests and artifact max image size of 5 TB. Deployment workflow is build, docker push, gcloud run deploy; demo works but shows cold-starts and a 60s timeout.
