So our firm is a SaaS provider with a client facing web app. We are currently trying to move away from a Laravel Monolithic setup into a more event-driven microservices architecture to help us with scalability and ease of development.
Ideally, we wanted to use Serverless Cloud functions as much as possible. After looking into various system layouts, I have created 3 different architecture layouts of how I can potentially model this system. They all use App Engine as a central endpoint. I wanted this to simplify contact with the client, and also as a way to mitigate the cold start issue of Cloud Functions and be able to handle long running processes/cron jobs. I was also very interested in using GraphQL to communicate between client and web server. I was especially excited about GraphQL subscriptions as a method to provide realtime updates to clients. However, it seems like App Engine does not easily support websockets. However, it seems like app engine recently began to support Server Side Events, and there is a GQL SSE transport package <https://github.com/CodeCommission/subscriptions-transport-sse>. So, i was thinking of utilizing this to support GraphQL. Anyways, I was just hoping to get some feedback from anyone who had a similar setup with App Engine, or if anyone has any experience with Event-Driven Architectures. Please let me know if you think this will be a strong architecture, or if there are any major holes I am missing. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
