What is it

GKE (short for Google Kubernetes Engine) is a managed service for Kubernetes clusters.

Why it's on hold

We are currently attempting to avoid adding Kubernetes to the total curriculum of daily skills needed for backend development at Einride. Instead, we prefer higher level platforms when possible, such as Cloud Run.

When Cloud Run is not a feasible option, for example because the workload is not request-driven, or because it needs to communicate on protocols other than gRPC and HTTP, using GKE Autopilot is currently the preferred option to GKE.
