I use Cloud Firestore, it's also serverless and is really easy to use for building SPAs as you can do a lot of things with just frontend code and trigger cloud functions when things in the database change. I do wish there was a serverl

Yup, OP's time is in reference to App Engine Flex, which is much slower to deploy. I normally see 1-2 minute deployment times depending on the application. (I work for GCP)

(I work for GCP) It looks something like this: your container -> Compute Engine VM (GKE Node) -> container -> Borg The container on top of Borg is used for scheduling and management. Joe's talk has a slide on this. As a GCP cu

Other way around: Everything at Google runs inside a container, including the VMs gVisor lets you run multiple untrusted workloads on the same VM, in this case a GKE node.

There are quite a few benchmarks and comparisons online, I work for GCP so I don't want to give a biased answer. Also, K80s are pretty old these days, though this makes them much cheaper than P100s and V100s. Comparing all of them from

Oh yeah, this fact is definetly my least favorite part about Firestore. Also the fact you can't change the location once it is created. I don't know what the roadmap is for removing these restrictions (or even if it is on the road

(I work for GCP) Where do you feel it is shoehorned in? Firestore is easy to access from App Engine and Cloud Functions (and GKE/GCE as well) using the built-in service accounts, it has managed export into BigQuery. Would love to know
