  The topic of this article is Google App Engine (GAE), which is a PaaS. Comparing GAE to AWS step functions (which is some wrapping around AWS Lambda) is moot since they are different categories of products solving different problems. For PaaS products, GAE is comparable to AWS Beanstalk (or Heroku, or CloudFoundry, etc). For "serverless" products * , AWS Lambda/Step Functions are comparable to Google Cloud Functions. * Serverless in the product sense rather than the literal sense.

    > The topic of this article is Google App Engine (GAE), which is a PaaS. PaaS & FaaS are quite related; so it is not unreasonable to discuss in this threat. e.g. see informative comments by @indigodaddy on the same threat. p.s. article also talks about other non-PaaS topics e.g. Data Store, Memchase, BigQuery, etc. > Comparing GAE to AWS step functions (which is some wrapping around AWS Lambda) is moot since they are different categories of products solving different problems. Many of the problems that they solve are the same; but they do so in a different manner. AWS Step Functions is a lot more than "wrapping around Lambda" > For "serverless" products * , AWS Lambda/Step Functions are comparable to Google Cloud Functions. AWS Step Functions has no comparable service on Google Cloud
