last time I explored my options, setting environment variables (ENV) were hard to secure in Google Cloud, I had to push a config.json file that sits on the server? Whats the point of a cheaper price if I can't even figure out how to secure the app. There might be cost gains in larger apps but for the small app I am working on, I'm a big believer of using tools that make you productive and iterate over parts that makes sense. You shouldn't choose a technology like Go lang because its cheaper to run than Node.js if you don't know how to Go
