Google App Engine seems to be a very fragile service. From Sept. 2019 It's going down every month. 10 hour+ outage in July, Sept. and Oct.

For the premium they charge for App Engine, one would expect the service to be more reliable.

Google App Engine doesn't have many users, and isn't a focus for future engineering effort.

Either people need to start using it for serious projects (rather than just demo guestbook projects), or it'll be shut down in a future round of closures.

This is fundamentally incorrect. GAE has many users and is actively being developed.

Would you choose GAE or GKE for a new project?

That's a big question :). I don't think they're mutually exclusive. GKE provides more flexibility but requires more configuration. GAE is less flexible but more "serverless". GKE is probably more expensive for a single app, so I'd probably pick GAE for a single app. For a _project_, I'd have to understand more about what I'm building and what I need.

I'd also probably use Cloud Run over GAE, but that's a personal preference because I've been working closely with that product lately.
