Well lambda+API gateway is somehow what AWS is pushing in the serverless, scalable and pay per use app model, so for me it seems quite logical to compare. Cloud functions can't really compete feature set and integration wise in my opinion.
I was wondering what people generally think on using AppEngine when compared to rolling the API gateway+Lambda for public side projects. Somehow there seems to be much more movement on Lambda front, but I can't seem to find a lot of opinions from people running their apps in app engine, which I am quite sure there are more than Lambda? Or am I mistaken? The standard environment seems to be quite feature rich, but with a lot of hidden limitations for a newcomer, but at the same time the developer story for Lambda is not that great at all.
