+# Development Workflow
+
+## Local development
+
+The workflow described here works from CloudShell or any node with the [gcloud CLI](https://cloud.google.com/sdk/docs/install) has been properly installed and authenticated.
+
+This means that you can develop your application fully locally on your laptop for example, as long as you have run `make auth` after installing the [gcloud CLI](https://cloud.google.com/sdk/docs/install) on it.
+
+The first step is to add your `PROJECT` and `BUCKET` names in the following files:
+* `./scripts/config.sh`
+* `app.yaml`
+
+For local development, install then the gcloud CLI following [these instructions](https://cloud.google.com/sdk/docs/install).
+
+Make sure to accept upgrading Python to 3.10 if prompted, then authenticate for local development by running:
+
+```bash
+make auth
+```
+
+The second step is to create and populate the virtual environment with
+
+```bash
+make venv
+```
+After this step you should find a new folder called `venv` containing the virtual environment.
+
+At this point you should already be able to run the tests by running
+```bash
+make tests
+```
+
+To run the app locally, simply run
+```bash
+make run
+```
+
+At last to deploy the application on AppEngine run
+```bash
+make deploy
+```
+
+**Note:** `make clean` will remove all the built artifacts as long as the virtual environment created by `make venv`. This target is invoked by `make deploy` so that the built artifacts are not uploaded to AppEngine. The down-side is that the virtual environment will need to be recreated after each deployment.
+
+## Development workflow
+
+1. Edit the code
+1. Run the tests with `make tests`
+1. Test the app local with `make run`
+1. Deploy the app on AppEngine with `make deploy`
