hello! anybody here can recommend me good tutorials/books for deploying clojure apps/microservices on google cloud?

@andrea.imparato I really like google-appengine, the java one is a bit annoying with it's uberwar stuff, but now there's a node-js standard env. Using that for a new project. Using just the tutorials on appengine-nodejs

we can run clojure code on nodejs right?

you can use ClojureScript on node.js

(although for the backend I think Clojure is much more mature)

@nha yep I agree. Appengine has some really nice free quotas for standard-env and is really nice. The instances are 128mb ram. JVM (clojure) si a bit more mature, but for startup times & memory usage, nodejs seems like a better fit for budget microservice servers with autoscaling

hmm, how do you see writing these microservices in clojuscript and run them on nodejs?

https://github.com/lambdaisland/npmdemo/tree/master/shadow-cljs there is also an example app here with shadow-cljs & express

thank you very much @claudiu 🙂

and what about using https://github.com/anmonteiro/lumo perhaps?

yep. Lumo should also work. I am going with shadow-cljs since it's pretty actively developed & maintained, I also use it for the frontend app. Lumo seems like development is slowing down.
