Push code. Skip YAML. Sleep well.
App Engine isn't outdated — it's focused.
🚀 Why devs still love it:
- 1-click traffic split and rollback
- Zero-downtime deploys with testable versions
- Autoscaling from zero to thousands — in seconds
- Standard vs Flexible: heartbeat vs hills
⚖️ Compared to Cloud Run & GKE:
- Faster start than GKE, simpler than Cloud Run
- No containers to build or clusters to patch
- Perfect for APIs, internal tools, and high-burst media apps
🌱 Bonus: scale-to-zero = carbon and cost neutral for side projects
