Papas=PaaS, or? If Papas I am unfamiliar with the term.
If PaaS, isn’t Gcloud itself the PaaS? For instance cloud run, the product inside Gcloud, is ephemeral and stateless, which wouldn’t be at all good for trying to make a DB.
I believe PaaS predates FaaS, there used to be only IaaS, PaaS and SaaS. In my book App Engine and Cloud Run are PaaS, while Cloud Functions is FaaS. OTOH, there might not be any super clean definition
So many "aaS"es. It's definitely a spectrum. Thanks for pointing out App Engine, I will probably be using this in the future now that I read the documentation!
