Picking the right serverless platform (Part 1)

Google App Engine was our very first cloud and serverless product, but now it has been joined by Google Cloud Functions and Cloud Run. Choosing a platform is easy when there's only one platform, but how do you choose now? What are the differences between all three platforms, and can you write applications that can run on all 3 with no code changes? The answer is yes! In this episode of Serverless Expeditions, Google Engineers Wesley Chun and Martin Omander introduce all three platforms and provide a preview of this unique sample app whose deployments will be covered in a follow-up video.
