Deployment Options
Hi, I understand the recommended deployment is fly. I would like to ask if anyone can share their experience deploying on vercel or GCP Cloud Run. Perhaps comparison of these 3 would be apprecciated: Fly, Vercel, GCP Cloud Run.

Hi @PM10. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
----------------------
From the knowledge sources provided, there are experiences shared by community members about deploying on Fly and GCP Cloud Run, but there's no specific mention of deploying on Vercel.
Fly.io
Community members have shared positive experiences with deploying on Fly.io. One member mentioned that they chose Fly.io for its simplicity and cost-effectiveness, especially for a B2B SaaS API product that doesn't expect heavy frontend traffic source (https://discord.com/channels/686873244791210014/1209726362399547402). However, there have been instances of errors during deployment, and some members have suggested improvements to the error handling process in the Wasp CLI source (https://github.com/wasp-lang/wasp/issues/1498).
GCP Cloud Run
A community member mentioned using GCP Cloud Run for their core product API with a global load balancer. However, they noted that GCP does have cold start issues, which might not be ideal for certain use cases source (https://discord.com/channels/686873244791210014/1209726362399547402).
Vercel
There's no specific mention of deploying on Vercel in the provided knowledge sources.
For more detailed instructions on deploying with different providers, you can refer to the Wasp documentation source (https://wasp-lang.dev/docs/advanced/deployment/manually#different-providers). Please note that the experiences shared by community members might not cover all possible scenarios and your experience might vary depending on your specific use case.

Sorry @PM10, I seem to be having a bit of trouble. Don't worry though, I've pinged my support and they will try to fix me up! :technologist:
Perhaps try again in 15mins?
Vercel wont' go because it is only for serverless, and Wasp currently requires server due to certain features like Jobs! I don't konw about GCP Cloud Run, sounds from quickly checking it like it also doesn't constantly run the server but runs it only for a single execution, kind of like serverless?
thanks @martinsos for you response. Cloud Run can be setup to run with minimum instance (https://cloud.google.com/run/docs/configuring/min-instances). It can autoscaling. Do you think this should do?
As if with fly.io does it autoscale?
Yup that sounds like it could work well!
