A development team wants to deploy a simple Node.js web application. They want zero infrastructure management, automatic scaling from zero to handle traffic, and they only want to pay when their code is executing. They do not want to build Docker containers. Which compute service should they use?

Answer options:

Compute Engine

Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE)

Cloud Run

App Engine Standard

How to approach this question

Look for the service that takes raw source code (no containers) and provides serverless scaling.

Full Answer

D.App Engine Standard✓ Correct

App Engine Standard

App Engine Standard is ideal for developers who want to focus purely on code. Unlike Cloud Run, it does not require building Docker containers. It supports Node.js natively, scales to zero, and requires zero infrastructure management.

Common mistakes

Choosing Cloud Run (C), missing the constraint that the team does not want to build Docker containers.
