Azure has a similar offer with App Service. Their Node/Mongo tutorial though uses CosmosDB which a globally distributed DB compatible with Mongo's API but definitely not cheap

You are right. In this instance though it's now just a matter of pride, can't abandon because it's hard! :P
I checked again with GCP and I remember now why I left: the damn flexible vs standard environment. It's just not a good fit.
Besides, even if doesn't sound like it, I'm familiar with most AWS services. It's the DBMS that threw me off, but I'll just use EBS and DocumentDB.
Thanks for the help :)
