deploy-cloudrun VS ava

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

We use Jest Framework for testing. Jest is not a dogma, and, of course, in its place can be any other test runner, such as Mocha or Ava. Let's focus on tests. I'll provide a short example because I don’t want to waste your time. You can find the full version here. It's crucial to read the comments in the code below. Let's go!

> In the popular jest test runner, each test file is executed in its own child process.

Is that confirmed?

I've been following this issue:

https://github.com/jestjs/jest/issues/6957

And what Jest actually does is still kind of muddy.

In contrast to that, other test runners like AVA have a clear description what happens when:

I've been looking at using japa or ava for web server testing but was curious what others were using and why.

Continued work on the test suite. Implementing AVA, with snapshotting. Making a lot of effort to have the snapshot directory structure match the test262 test directory structure by generating AVA test files.

You might want to give ava a spin:

It has a TAP reporter, but more importantly, as opposed to the more popular solutions, like Jest, the way it achieves parallelism is explained in the docs and won't change anytime soon, thus preventing wonky, hard to debug errors which occur when this part is abstracted away.

I switched to ava for that reason and have been very happy with it. But vitest looks nice, too. Thanks for the pointer.

Runs unit tests using AVA.

Last but not least important are ava, uvu and tape; they are a really light and fast test runners.

I've had some good experiences with Ava + Sinon. I've personally disliked Jest because it seemed to do some weird trickery in the background that prevented me from using ES modules.

Ava for a simpler environment than Jest, which I usually use. I need to check how to mock ESM with it, though.
