# Google Cloud Run

> Use this guide to deploy Arize Phoenix on Google Cloud Run via the deploy button.

You can deploy Arize Phoenix on [Google Cloud Run](https://cloud.google.com/run) via a deploy button. The deployment runs Phoenix with authentication enabled and prompts you for configuration during setup. The prompts are defined by [`app.json`](https://github.com/Arize-ai/phoenix/blob/main/app.json) in the Phoenix repository, which is the source of truth for what gets provisioned.

## Deploy

Use the following button to deploy Phoenix to Cloud Run:

<a href="https://deploy.cloud.run/?git_repo=https://github.com/Arize-ai/phoenix" target="_blank">
  <img src="https://deploy.cloud.run/button.svg" alt="Run on Google Cloud" height="30" noZoom />
</a>

<Note>
  The button clones the Phoenix repository into Cloud Shell and builds the image from source rather than deploying the prebuilt Docker Hub image.
</Note>

<Warning>
  Cloud Run's container filesystem is ephemeral — data is lost whenever a new revision is deployed or an instance restarts. For anything beyond a quick trial, set `PHOENIX_SQL_DATABASE_URL` to a PostgreSQL instance (for example, [Cloud SQL](https://cloud.google.com/sql)) so your traces persist.
</Warning>

Once the service is live, log in with the default admin account as described in [Authentication](/docs/phoenix/self-hosting/features/authentication). To customize the instance, see [Environment Variables](/docs/phoenix/self-hosting/configuration#environment-variables).
