welcome 🙂

i used to use GAE like 6 years ago or such 😄

qqq 2017-02-19T09:53:47.001062Z

I haven't used GKE, only GAE so far

qqq 2017-02-19T09:54:04.001063Z

@mobileink and @nickbauman have separate toolchains for hleping you build jars for AE

fossifoo 2017-02-19T09:54:07.001064Z

GKE is just kubernetes in GCE

qqq 2017-02-19T09:54:11.001065Z

they may be also useful for GCE/GKE

fossifoo 2017-02-19T09:54:27.001066Z

so basically, you build a docker image and you are set

fossifoo 2017-02-19T09:54:50.001067Z

and so far i just called boot serve in a java image

qqq 2017-02-19T09:54:55.001068Z

https://github.com/migae <-- helps you build the war/jar also: https://github.com/nickbauman/cljgae-template

fossifoo 2017-02-19T09:55:04.001071Z

startup time was a bit horrible, but yeah 😄

fossifoo 2017-02-19T09:55:50.001073Z

GAE is still on 1.7?

fossifoo 2017-02-19T09:55:52.001074Z

man...

qqq 2017-02-19T09:58:00.001075Z

yeah; I'm starting to believe the articles that GAE is the unwanted bastard child

fossifoo 2017-02-19T10:15:21.001076Z

yes

fossifoo 2017-02-19T10:15:32.001077Z

it was really promising back then

fossifoo 2017-02-19T10:15:52.001078Z

but containerization and all the microservice stuff kinda overtook it

fossifoo 2017-02-19T10:16:08.001079Z

i think by now it's easier to just go GKE

fossifoo 2017-02-19T10:16:30.001080Z

and you can get all the other stuff that GCE offers like a mysql anyway

fossifoo 2017-02-19T10:16:43.001081Z

or bigtable or younameit

2017-02-19T19:21:56.001084Z

@fossifoo @qqq: fyi gae std env is 1.7, flex env is 1.8. you can use 1.8 in std env. as long as you don't use features specific to 1.8. also, gae is all microservice-based now. i have not looked at gke, no idea if gae is suitably for your situation.

2017-02-19T19:29:41.001086Z

also you can use bigtable from the gae flex env. not sure what the diff between gce and gae flex is.
