d-bow.com

Personal site. Built with Vite + React + Tailwind CSS v4, served by Express on Google Cloud App Engine.

Development

npm install
npm run dev       # dev server with HMR at localhost:5173

Building

npm run build     # production build → dist/
npm run preview   # preview the production build locally

Deployment

Requires the Google Cloud CLI with an authenticated account and the correct project set.

gcloud auth login
gcloud config set project <project-id>
npm run build
gcloud app deploy

App Engine runs npm run build automatically on deploy (gcp-build script), so npm run build is optional if you just want to ship.
