Azure Container Apps vs. Engine Yard vs. Google Cloud Functions

Azure Container Apps is a welcome addition for sure. Based on my experience, this has enabled us to move fully to the cloud and managed everywhere in one spot and on the go. We can scale it to our end as much as we would like. It can be assess anywhere and it is fully secure

It is best for rapidly getting your application to the cloud without worrying about standing up cloud infrastructure

It is easy to use, in 15 minutes you just have to follow a few steps, do some easy configurations and you have the project ready to run, once it is connected to the codebase, the execution is automatic. For anyone coming into the google environment, Functions make code execution easy and transparent. CI/CD is perfect

• Gives user a level of autonomous access
• No control plane or node pool to manage
• Less kubernetes experience required
• Easily integrate with Azure devops

• Quick deployments
• Easily integrate your code from GitHub
• Ability to recover site quickly to different zone when AWS has a widespread outage

• integration with oAuth
• integration with Firebase
• integration with React Frontend

• Continue to enhance security
• Better pricing
• Flexibility

• Embracing new Amazon Web Servicess(AWS) features
• Security groups need more granularity
• Audit trails of what happens by who in environment, especially when VM is deleted

• Needing a zip file is problematic (when wanting to automate deployment for example).
• Requires another solution to execute automatically (ex. cloud scheduler).

I would rather use AKS for my critical applications. The fact that the deployment process is dependent on as cli makes it hard for us to integrate with our standard CI/CD tools

Ease of use

Azure Container Apps are fantastic and it is a game changer. I would recommend it to anyone considering it. As you can scale it to what you would like and it is fully cloud native with better security. It is a no brainier not to consider it. I do believe that with further improve it will become even more attractive

Overall Google Cloud Functions is losing a lot of benefits to other GCP services, making it less attractive to users. A simple example would be the need to zip application files and push them to Google Storage which makes it a bit complicated to automate via a CI/CD pipeline. Another "similar" solution would be using Cloud Run although the need for a docker image is there, with the recent evolutions to Cloud Run (ability to downscale to 0) it makes a lot more interesting.

Documentation is provided and clear for this service. Although GCP support is included in the current contract we didn't get to use it since the process is pretty straightforward.

More closely aligns to native AWS

It is easier to keep everything in house when we are using GCP or AWS. To mix Lambda with google cloud is not a best practice and will cause problems ahead. The segmentation is clear, if you are using google, you use Google Cloud Functions. if you are on Amazon, you use all AWS tools. You can't mix them. The price is set.

• As it is cloud native, we no longer required to have onsite prem
• Reducing both from an energy and security perspective
• It is worth the investment as we have saved about 10% of our ICT cost

Incentivized

• Positive in the sense that we can deploy new applications quickly for MVP

Incentivized

• For training purposes, it is free
• Budgeting makes it cap the use
• monitoring makes it predictable
