welcome 🙂

i used to use GAE like 6 years ago or such 😄

I haven't used GKE, only GAE so far

@mobileink and @nickbauman have separate toolchains for hleping you build jars for AE

GKE is just kubernetes in GCE

they may be also useful for GCE/GKE

so basically, you build a docker image and you are set

and so far i just called boot serve in a java image

startup time was a bit horrible, but yeah 😄

GAE is still on 1.7?

yeah; I'm starting to believe the articles that GAE is the unwanted bastard child

it was really promising back then

but containerization and all the microservice stuff kinda overtook it

i think by now it's easier to just go GKE

and you can get all the other stuff that GCE offers like a mysql anyway

or bigtable or younameit

@fossifoo @qqq: fyi gae std env is 1.7, flex env is 1.8. you can use 1.8 in std env. as long as you don't use features specific to 1.8. also, gae is all microservice-based now. i have not looked at gke, no idea if gae is suitably for your situation.

also you can use bigtable from the gae flex env. not sure what the diff between gce and gae flex is.
