Perhaps you should avoid GAE for hobby projects, but if you can afford it, it can save you some money in not needing any ops. For hobby sites you probably barely need ops.

Standard GAE is great for hobby projects due to the free tier. It's nice to still have a running server that I haven't touched in years.

By contrast, I deployed an app on Digital Ocean and, though they have a solid product, I eventually shut the instance down to avoid paying the monthly fee on an app I rarely used.

well, i don't use GAE too. All in with cloud functions. In fact, planning to migrate my payments backend to cloud functions this week.
