logpaste VS migrate-from-app-engine-to-cloud-run

FWIW, I've used Litestream on Google Cloud Run and never run into issues, but I haven't pushed it much:

Currently, no. I've implemented that functionality recently in my other tool, LogPaste, so it shouldn't be too hard to reproduce here.

My tool is called LogPaste. It allows users to generate shareable URLs for text files. I use it in my open-source KVM over IP device so that users can easily share diagnostic logs with me.

I designed it with self-hosting in mind, so there are instructions for hosting it under Docker, as well as with several free cloud hosting providers. You can even host the data storage part yourself if you use a solution like Minio.

I still use GCP, but I avoid locking myself into their proprietary infrastructure when I'm writing new stuff. I feel like Google is far too cavalier about deprecating services and forcing their customers to do migration work.

It is hard to replace GCP's managed datastores because I really don't want to maintain my own database server (even if it's a managed service that someone else upgrades for me). So I've stuck to Google Cloud Datastore / Firestore, but I've been experimenting a lot with Litestream[0], and I think that might be my go-to choice in the future instead of proprietary managed datastores.

Litestream continuously streams data from a SQLite database to an S3 backend. It means that you can design your app to use SQLite and then sync the database to any S3 provider. I designed a simple pastebin clone on top of Litestream, and I use it in production for my open source KVM over IP. It's worked great so far, though I'm admittedly putting a pretty gentle workload on it (a handful of requests per day).

If you haven't checked out App Engine in a while, you really should. Especially check out the App Engine "Flexible" editions, which make it really easy to run on App Engine withOUT getting locked in.

I run a NodeJS GraphQL server in App Engine Flexible, and it is basically just like running it in a Docker container. It's also pretty trivial to run in Google Cloud Run if I so desired, there is even a tool to assist: https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/app-engine-cloud-run-...
