HOW TO USE IT
When creating an API Gateway for streaming responses, run `gcloud api-gateway gateways create` with `--enable-streaming`; the mode is fixed at creation.
gcloud api-gateway gateways create <GATEWAY_ID> --api=<API_ID> --api-config=<CONFIG_ID> --location=<GCP_REGION> --enable-streamingWHY THIS HELPS
Create an API Gateway that streams responses for a service using server-sent events, chunked HTTP, WebSockets, or bidirectional gRPC/HTTP2.
REQUIREMENTS AND LIMITATIONS
- GATEWAY_ID (required): Gateway ID or fully qualified gateway identifier.
- --location (required): Cloud location for the gateway.
- --api-config (required): API config ID or fully qualified identifier for the config the gateway will use.
- --api: API ID; may be specified with `--api-config`.
- --enable-streaming: Create the gateway with streaming enabled; this setting cannot be changed after creation.
- Prerequisite: If `--enable-streaming` is unrecognized, update the gcloud component installation with `gcloud components update`.
