+# Google Cloud Run Example
+
+This example shows how to deploy a simplified GraphQL API to
+[Google Cloud Run](https://cloud.google.com/run).
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+Check out the
+[Get started](https://cloud.google.com/run/docs/quickstarts/build-and-deploy/deploy-nodejs-service)
+guide on Google Cloud to set up the project.
+
+## Deploy
+
+```bash
+gcloud run deploy example \
+  --source . \
+  --project=zentered \
+  --region=us-central1 \
+  --memory=256Mi \
+  --platform=managed \
+  --allow-unauthenticated \
+  --use-http2 \
+  --set-env-vars=VERSION=1.0.0
+```
+
+You can set environment variables for the Docker container with
+`--set-env-vars`, `VERSION` is used as an example here.
+
+## Next Steps
+
+- Instead of building from source, you can use
+  [Cloud Build](https://cloud.google.com/build) for continous deployment from a
+  Git respository
+- Cloud Build can create and push Docker images to
+  [Artifact Registry](https://cloud.google.com/artifact-registry)
