cloudrun-development

CloudBase Run backend development rules (Function mode/Container mode). Use this skill when deploying backend services that require long connections, multi-language support, custom environments, or AI agent development.

## When to use this skill

Use this skill for **CloudBase Run backend service development** when you need:

- Long connection capabilities: WebSocket / SSE / server push
- Long-running or persistent processes: tasks that are not suitable for cloud functions, background jobs
- Custom runtime environments/system dependencies: custom images, specific system libraries
- Multi-language/arbitrary frameworks: Java, Go, PHP, .NET, Python, Node.js, etc.
- Stable external services with elastic scaling: pay-as-you-go, can scale down to 0
- Private/internal network access: VPC/PRIVATE access, mini-program `callContainer` internal direct connection
- AI agent development: develop personalized AI applications based on Function mode CloudRun

**Do NOT use for:**
- Simple cloud functions (use cloud function development instead)
- Frontend-only applications
- Database schema design (use data-model-creation skill)

---

## How to use this skill (for a coding agent)

1. **Choose the right mode**
   - **Function mode**: Fastest to get started, built-in HTTP/WebSocket/SSE, fixed port 3000, local running supported
   - **Container mode**: Any language and runtime, requires Dockerfile, local running not supported by tools

2. **Follow mandatory requirements**
   - Must listen on `PORT` environment variable (real port in container)
   - Stateless service: write data externally (DB/storage/cache)
   - No background persistent threads/processes outside requests
   - Minimize dependencies, slim images; reduce cold start and deployment time
   - Resource constraints: `Mem = 2 × CPU` (e.g., 0.25 vCPU → 0.5 GB)
   - Access control: Only enable public network for Web scenarios; mini-programs prioritize internal direct connection, recommend closing public network

3. **Use tools correctly**
   - **Read operations**: `queryCloudRun` (list, detail, templates)
   - **Write operations**: `manageCloudRun` (init, download, run, deploy, delete, createAgent)
   - Always use absolute paths for `targetPath`
   - Use `force: true` for delete operations

4. **Follow the workflow**
   - Initialize project → Check/generate Dockerfile (for container mode) → Local run (function mode only) → Configure access → Deploy → Verify

# CloudBase Run AI Development Rules

A concise guide for AI assistants and engineering collaboration, providing "when to use, how to use" rules and tool workflows.

## 1. When to use CloudBase Run (Use Cases)

- Need long connection capabilities: WebSocket / SSE / server push
- Need long-running or persistent processes: tasks that are not suitable for cloud functions, background jobs
- Need custom runtime environments/system dependencies: custom images, specific system libraries
- Use multi-language/arbitrary frameworks: Java, Go, PHP, .NET, Python, Node.js, etc.
- Need stable external services with elastic scaling: pay-as-you-go, can scale down to 0
- Need private/internal network access: VPC/PRIVATE access, mini-program `callContainer` internal direct connection
- Need to develop AI agents: develop personalized AI applications based on Function mode CloudRun

## 2. Mode Selection (Quick Comparison)

- **Function mode**: Fastest to get started, built-in HTTP/WebSocket/SSE, fixed port 3000; local running supported by tools
- **Container mode**: Any language and runtime, requires Dockerfile; local running not supported by tools

### Mode Comparison Checklist

| Dimension | Function Mode | Container Mode |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Language/Framework | Node.js (via `@cloudbase/functions-framework`) | Any language/runtime (Java/Go/PHP/.NET/Python/Node.js, etc.) |
| Runtime | Function framework loads functions (Runtime) | Docker image starts process |
| Port | Fixed 3000 | Application listens on `PORT` (injected by platform during deployment) |
| Dockerfile | Not required | Required (and must pass local build) |
| Local Running | Supported (built-in tools) | Not supported (recommend using Docker for debugging) |
| Typical Scenarios | WebSocket/SSE/streaming responses, forms/files, low latency, multiple functions per instance, shared memory | Arbitrary system dependencies/languages, migrating existing containerized applications |

## 3. Development Requirements (Must Meet)

- Must listen on `PORT` environment variable (real port in container)
- Stateless service: write data externally (DB/storage/cache)
- No background persistent threads/processes outside requests
- Minimize dependencies, slim images; reduce cold start and deployment time
- Resource constraints: `Mem = 2 × CPU` (e.g., 0.25 vCPU → 0.5 GB)
- Access control: Only enable public network for Web scenarios; mini-programs prioritize internal direct connection, recommend closing public network

## 4. Tools (Plain Language & Read/Write Separation)

- **Read operations** (`queryCloudRun`):
  - `list`: What services do I have? Can filter by name/type
  - `detail`: Current configuration, version, access address of a service
  - `templates`: Ready-to-use starter templates
- **Write operations** (`manageCloudRun`):
  - `init`: Create local project (optional template)
  - `download`: Pull existing service code to local
  - `run`: Run locally (Function mode only, supports normal function and Agent mode)
  - `deploy`: Deploy local code to CloudRun
  - `delete`: Delete service (requires explicit confirmation)
  - `createAgent`: Create AI agent (based on Function mode CloudRun)
- **Important parameters** (remember these):
  - `targetPath`: Local directory (must be absolute path)
  - `serverConfig`: Deployment parameters (CPU/Mem/instance count/access type/environment variables, etc.)
  - `runOptions`: Local running port and temporary environment variables (Function mode), supports `runMode: 'normal' | 'agent'`
  - `agentConfig`: Agent configuration (agentName, botTag, description, template)
  - Delete must include `force: true`, otherwise it won't execute

## 5. Core Workflow (Understand Steps First, Then Examples)

1) **Choose mode**
   - Need multi-language/existing container/Docker: choose "Container mode"
   - Need long connection/streaming/low latency/multiple functions coexisting: prioritize "Function mode"

2) **Initialize local project**
   - General: Use template `init` (both Function mode and Container mode can start from templates)
   - Container mode must "check or generate Dockerfile":
     - Node.js minimal example:
       ```dockerfile
       FROM node:18-alpine
       WORKDIR /app
       COPY package*.json ./
       RUN npm ci --omit=dev
       COPY . .
       ENV NODE_ENV=production
       EXPOSE 3000
       CMD ["node","server.js"]
       ```
     - Python minimal example:
       ```dockerfile
       FROM python:3.11-slim
       WORKDIR /app
       COPY requirements.txt ./
       RUN pip install -r requirements.txt --no-cache-dir
       COPY . .
       ENV PORT=3000
       EXPOSE 3000
       CMD ["python","app.py"]
       ```

3) **Local running** (Function mode only)
   - Automatically use `npm run dev/start` or entry file via `run`

4) **Configure access**
   - Set `OpenAccessTypes` (WEB/VPC/PRIVATE) as needed; configure security domain and authentication for Web scenarios

5) **Deploy**
   - Specify CPU/Mem/instance count/environment variables, etc. during `deploy`

6) **Verify**
   - Use `detail` to confirm access address and configuration meet expectations
