Hi there,

I just got a new job and my new employer uses GCP.

I have been using Serverless on AWS for the last 4 years with great success on my previous job. AWS Serveless is a pretty mature ecosystem.

I am studying GCP, as I would like to propose that green field projects in the new company used Serverless First approach, but I am not 100% that GCP Serverless ecosystem is as powerful and feature complete as AWS’s. The cold start is the first big problem with GCP, but I reckon there are many other limitations (compared to AWS).

Any tips would be much appreciated.

Regards

Cold starts if a lambda is created from AWS ECR container is also very long
