[google-appengine] Re: Practical difference from Cloud Run

['Steren Giannini' via Google App Engine]

Hi Gabriel,
I am the product manager for Cloud Run, and worked on App Engine in the 
past.

As you noticed, the very first thing to take into consideration is that App 
Engine is a GA product, Cloud Run was just been announced and is in early 
Beta.

At a high level, choosing between App Engine and Cloud Run is mostly about 
the abstraction layer you want to use:
- Cloud Run only takes container images, while this gives you flexibility 
but this also requires you to work with containers.
- App Engine takes source code. The experience is tailored to the various 
supported languages, and when deployed, the language runtimes are 
automatically updated for you.
(- Cloud Functions takes function as source code and offers a quick 
development experience)

We are heavily investing into App Engine, for example, at Next 2019, we 
announced the availability of new second generation runtimes as well as  
VPC access. We are committing to support our App Engine customers for the 
many years to come.

Today, App Engine has a lot of features that Cloud Run does not have: VPC 
access, Cloud SQL connectivity, the ability to do traffic migration or to 
serve static files.

I hope this helps.
We will publish more guidance in our official documentation.

Thanks for your message.

Hi Gabriel,

Thanks for bringing those questions to our attention, I will forward them 
to the documentation team. For the time being I've found a community FAQ 
 that 
could answer some of your questions. Please note that this is not the 
official Google Cloud documentation.

Have a great day!
