Can someone please explain what the advantage of running a snapshot service via GCF would be vs. AppEngine Standard (w/ node)?

- wereHamster 8y agoLower costs. With AppEngine you pay for a whole instance, regardless of how much utilisation it gets. With cloud functions you only pay for the time the function is being executed. If your code isn't being executed often, GCF are much cheaper.
- dakom 8y agoOh I see... AppEngine is also "pay for what you use" but it seems it's rounded to 15 mins rather than CloudFunctions which is 100ms. Thanks!
