I wanted to use Geojango and Postgis, the framework for GIS apps. I chose Cloud Run, since it allows me to install system packages in container, can scale down to zero, can scale up to meet demand. But I had to mess with Docker etc. I wonder if a much simpler PHP stack can absorb 5-10 RPS without an autoscaling containerized setup, be cheaper than a VPS and can still interact with Postgis in a concise way as Geodjango. I wonder if I'm pragmatic or wasting massive effort.
