Deploy on Google Cloud Platform
To deploy Langflow on Google Cloud Platform using Cloud Shell, use the below script. The script will guide you through setting up a Debian-based VM with the Langflow package, Nginx, and the necessary configurations to run the Langflow dev environment in GCP.
Prerequisites​
- A GCP account with the necessary permissions to create resources
- A project on GCP where you want to deploy Langflow
Deploy Langflow in GCP​
- Click below to launch Cloud Shell.
Deploy to Google Cloud- Click Trust repo. Some gcloud commands may not run in an ephemeral Cloud Shell environment.
- Click Start and follow the tutorial to deploy Langflow.
Spot/Preemptible Instance​
When running a spot (preemptible) instance, the code and VM will behave the same way as in a regular instance, executing the startup script to configure the environment, install necessary dependencies, and run the Langflow application. However, due to the nature of spot instances, the VM may be terminated at any time if Google Cloud needs to reclaim the resources. This makes spot instances suitable for fault-tolerant, stateless, or interruptible workloads that can handle unexpected terminations and restarts.
Pricing (approximate)​
For more information, see the GCP Pricing Calculator.
| Component | Regular Cost (Hourly) | Regular Cost (Monthly) | Spot/Preemptible Cost (Hourly) | Spot/Preemptible Cost (Monthly) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 100 GB Disk | - | $10/month | - | $10/month | Disk cost remains the same for both regular and Spot/Preemptible VMs |
| VM (n1-standard-4) | $0.15/hr | ~$108/month | ~$0.04/hr | ~$29/month | The VM cost can be significantly reduced using a Spot/Preemptible instance |
| Total | $0.15/hr | ~$118/month | ~$0.04/hr | ~$39/month | Total costs for running the VM and disk 24/7 for an entire month |
