Deploying to Google App Engine with Travis CI

Travis CI doesn't just let us automate the testing and release of our code — it can even deploy our code to production (or wherever you need to deploy). In this lab, we'll take an existing Travis setup and add a deployment stanza to get our application working on Google App Engine, as well as configure GCP to work with Travis.
