You’ll need to evaluate GCP’s peripheral offerings for database, APIs, pricing, etc.
The biggest thing that this does is give you first class access to the ecosystem APIs and with native setups for AppEngine (Heroku-ish), Compute Engine (do it yourself on a VM) and a provider in Gigalixir which runs on GCP that gives a Heroku-like experience but is tailored specifically to everything Elixir needs (hot loading, clustering out of the box, etc).
Between those two things, GCP is pretty strong.
- mijoharas 9y agoThanks for the nice answer! I was reading up on Gigalixir thanks to this thread, is it basically a more "batteries included" version of AppEngine specifically targetted for Elixir?
- brightball 9y agoSeems to be. I’ve read about it for a while but still haven’t tried it out. Planning to soon though. It’s just nice to see a hosting option that tailors itself to the more unique needs of the BEAM when the rest of the industry is focusing on stateless containers.
