For me (where our BE consists of maybe 100 endpoints) we’ve found the sweet spot to be Google AppEngine. Incredibly simple to deploy, we don’t really need to manage infrastructure or networking (although you can if you want), decent performance, plays well with other GCP services, great logging and observability, etc

We’ve tried deploying services on K8s, Lambda/Cloud Run, but in the end, the complexity just didn’t make sense.

I’m sure we could get better performance running our own Compute/EC2 instances, but then we need to manage that.

I think appengine is one of the most underrated "serverless" offerings out there. I deploy everything on it, with almost zero concern about infra or server architecture

And cost? How does that factor in to your use case?

My use cases are probably regarded as small/medium, which need a handful of instances running, which you can effectively scale down to zero with Googles free tier (basically allows you go goto 1 instance for free), so cost has not been a major consideration.

Using vi to update the .html directly on the production server (and this wasn't a personal website)... simpler times :)

lol yeah, ssh to the server, find the www dir, edit, :w, hit reload, :q when it works :)

I could deploy to production 30 times a minute! haha :)

Ireland is generating 75% renewable today also!

I understand 75% is the current "limit", I guess for grid stability: https://www.eirgrid.ie/news/eirgrid-and-soni-recognised-rene... (aiming for 95% by 2030, pending ROCOF related upgrades)

The forecast is to beat the record peak 4610MW for wind today too.

Looks like a peak of 4517MW from wind today, just shy of the record.
