GCP

• Mapping AWS to GCP

Datastore

Being deprecated for Firestore

Cloud Firestore is the next generation of Cloud Datastore.

Comparisons with AWS

• API Gateway

  • No GCP Equivalent

  • Custom domains have to go through Firebase Hosting

  • GCP Cloud Functions can be automatically deployed to an endpoint with a flag

• Firestore has better free rates

  • No on-demand/provisioned limitations

• Lambda

  • Need to test async/await

  • Seems you launch individual functions than a group of functions

    • Lambda has "Applications", GCP doesn't seem to have an equivalent way to group

    • Potentially more name clashing

  • Distinct difference between HTTP Triggers and Event Triggers
