Hey @Chris Fowles, sorry i just saw your message, i rage quit app engine because i understood that google download the code and compile it in their backend, it’s not just taking the binary and in my monorepo it wasn’t working.
But i discovered cloud run that’s way more easy
so my architecture is:
• 3 backend api (dockerized) on cloud run
• 1 psql database
• 1 front end (made with nuxt, it’s on app engine work like a charm)
I’m using terraform,

i had few questions about how to organize that

my 3 services expose 3 endpoints
• /auth
• /users
• /threads
but i don’t find a service for routing…

in appengine you can use a dispatch file to route to different endpoints https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/standard/python3/how-requests-are-routed#routing_with_a_dispatch_file

i've not used cloudrun yet unfortunately

something cloudendpoints might do the trick though https://cloud.google.com/endpoints/docs/openapi/

Yes, but there is no dispatch file for cloud run,
and Cloud endpoints is in beta, to run you need a to deploy their proxy on cloud run, so it’s will double the cold run…

I’ll run cloud compute with a nomad cluster it’s will be easier

Gcp is really missing an api gateway…

they acquired apigee a little while back and i was really expecting them to come out with a decent solution built on that pretty quickly but from what i've seen interacting with their sales teams the apigee stuff seems to be more co-sold than sold as a gcp service

the advantage of could run (and appengine standard env) is that you can scale down to 0 very easily with pretty quick cold starts

to achieve this you have to make a fair few concessions to an opinionated platform (as with anything like this)

if you can't make those concessions for business or technical reasons it makes sense to fall back to a lower level compute platform

either gke or compute engine
