Picking the right serverless platform (Part 1)

Google App Engine was our very first cloud and serverless product, but now it has been joined by Google Cloud Functions and Cloud Run. Choosing a platform is easy when there's only one platform, but how do you choose now? What are the differences between all three platforms, and can you write applications that can run on all 3 with no code changes? The answer is yes! In this episode of Serverless Expeditions, Google Engineers Wesley Chun and Martin Omander introduce all three platforms and provide a preview of this unique sample app whose deployments will be covered in a follow-up video.

Is there are benefits of using App Engine against Cloud Run?

@MichaelSlowik 2 жыл бұрын

App Engine got: - better dashboard - because container image is delivered by Google it might be more reliable than custom image (unless you are using buildpacks) I had a case where heavy load services running on App Engine migrated to Cloud Run, and had to be rolled back to App Engine. After months of hassle-free uptime on Cloud Run, suddenly it started to throw 503 on 10-20% of traffic with zero logs or debug info. Cloud Run Google support could always blame it on container image, on App Engine we need to focus on code only.

@@MichaelSlowik What about app engine flex? In flex, we could use our custom image. So the differences then is only the dashboard?

@@peeratchaipetpadriew7337 in general yes (+ eventual build process is different). Cloud Run is more recent generation comparing to App Engine flex. I wouldn't be surprised if flex was actually migrated to Cloud Run and currently its just extra software layer.

App Engine is our "Serverless 1.0" platform (2008) while Cloud Functions & Cloud Run are "Serverless 2.0" platforms (2017 and 2019, respecticely). As such, they're more modern and adhere more towards today's software development lifecycle. They also cost less (in general) than App Engine. That said, App Engine is the "OG" serverless platform. If you use an original runtime (Python, Java, Go, PHP), you get bundled services like Datastore, Memcache, Task Queues (pull or push), and many others, including a firewall and CDN, none of which come with Cloud Functions or Cloud Run (you have to setup equivalent services on your own).
