deploy-cloudrun VS Appwrite

Examples for products in this category are: Google Cloud Run, AWS App Runner, Azure Container Apps. Each has different scalability, cost, and integration trade-offs.

Cloud Run is a managed platform that enables you to run container based workloads on top of Google infrastructure. Cloud Run automates many of the above steps and allows you to focus on developing and deploying updates to your application.

Serverless computing was also introduced, where the developers focus on their code instead of server configuration.Google offers serverless technologies that include Cloud Functions and Cloud Run.Cloud Functions manages event-driven code and offers a pay-as-you-go service, while Cloud Run allows clients to deploy their containerized microservice applications in a managed environment.

The quickest way is to deploy to Cloud Run. The service will use Dockerfile to build the production image. You can even omit the GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS env var as these are in GCP’s projects by default.

In our company we use Google Cloud Run to deploy web applications, and every app is built into a docker image. For now we use the default memory limit by Cloud Run which is 256 MB per container. Recently we started to notice that the part of applications go beyond this limit, causing a container to restart and in some cases even resulting to downtime of a service.

It's perhaps a little fiddlier than other options, but you can probably host it on Google Cloud Run and it would fall within the free tier.

You can see more here on how to use the google cloud run github actions.

I wonder what the aversion is to using a plain old server / vps. It's really not that difficult to deploy nowadays [0][1][2][3] and I'd rather get an $8 bill every month as insurance than ever worry about shit like OP just went through. It'll probably be more performant anyway due to cold starts and "edge" still having to hit us-east-1 for data.. cache your static files with Cloud Flare/Front. People are always surprised by how much traffic a single VPS can take[4] and believe it all has to be serverless to be web scale. I believe HN still runs on a single core or something.

There's a ton of places to get cloud credits as well, too many to link, so just Bing™ it

Google Cloud Run

If you haven't tried Appwrite, make sure you give it a spin. It's a open source backend that packs authentication, databases, storage, serverless functions, and all kinds of utilities in a neat API. Appwrite can be self-hosted, or you can use Appwrite Cloud starting with a generous free plan.

What is Appwrite? Appwrite is an open-source backend server that abstracts the complexity of backend development, allowing developers to focus on building their applications. It provides a wide range of services including databases, storage, functions, and authentication, all designed to work seamlessly together. This integration simplifies the development process, reducing the need for extensive configuration and integration work.

Appwrite is an open source BaaS platform that provides services like serverless functions, serverless databases, user authentication, and messaging. Since its release, it has quickly become a popular choice for building websites and applications.

Appwrite for user management, databases, and serverless functions

Appwrite: Open-source backend server for web and mobile developers.

Today, this ecosystem is going strong with new providers like Hasura, AppWrite and Supabase powering millions of projects. There are a few reasons people choose this style of hosting, especially if they are more comfortable with frontend development. BaaS lets them set up a database in a secure way, expose some business logic on top of the data, and connect via a dev-friendly SDK from their app or website code to save data easily. These modern tools build a blend of managed database with curated plugins such as authentication, great admin dashboards, and function as a service type capability - all in one package, and often offered as a integrated hosted service.

Joins - see Future of Queries - MariaDB supports json joins, so definitely possible!

Wow, looks nice! I almost felt like I could understand Bitcoins code xD

Could you do Appwrite? https://github.com/appwrite/appwrite

I'm not affiliated to them, just wanted to get started hacking it.
