GCP Hosting
Deploy to Google Cloud Platform
Run your apps on Google's premium network tier without managing GKE yourself.
Get the low-latency global load balancing of Google Cloud with the simplicity of git push deployment.
Region Selection
Infrastructure choice is about network performance and data sovereignty.
Gigalixir gives you access to Google Cloud's top-tier data centers without the steep learning curve of the Google Cloud Console.
We support strategic regions that offer optimal coverage for US and European user bases.
You select the region at app creation, and we handle the provisioning.
Infrastructure Quality
We leverage Google's engineering excellence to run your applications.
GKE Powered
Your apps run on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), widely considered the gold standard for managed Kubernetes.
GKE offers rapid scaling times and highly efficient bin-packing, ensuring your application scales up quickly during traffic spikes.
Persistent Disks
Your managed databases are backed by Google's SSD persistent disks.
These provide consistent high I/O throughput and redundant storage, ensuring your database performance doesn't degrade "noisily" due to neighbors on the same physical hardware.
Carbon Neutral
Google Cloud matches 100% of the energy consumed by their operations with renewable energy.
Deploying on our GCP regions means your infrastructure footprint is effectively carbon neutral, a requirement for many modern corporate sustainability goals.
Simplified Abstraction
Google Cloud is powerful but can be overwhelming for developers who just want to ship code.
We strip away the complexity of IAM, VPCs, and billing.
FAQs
The Questions We Get The Most at Gigalixir Support
Network performance and geography are the main drivers.
Some developers find GCP's network (latency and throughput) to be superior for their specific workload.
Additionally, if your users are primarily in Europe, our europe-west1 region on GCP is the correct choice for data residency.
No.
We offer the same flat-rate pricing across all clouds.
A standard 200MB app container costs the same in us-central1 (GCP) as it does in us-east-1 (AWS).
We absorb the differences in the underlying provider costs.
You must specify the region when you first create the application.
Run gigalixir create --cloud gcp --region europe-west1.
Once an app is created, its region is fixed and cannot be changed without creating a new app and migrating data.
Yes.
You can interact with any GCP service (Cloud Storage, Pub/Sub, Firestore) from your Gigalixir app.
You simply generate a Service Account Key in your own GCP console and inject the JSON credentials into your app as an environment variable (e.g., GCLOUD_SERVICE_KEY).
Yes.
You can provision your free tier app and database in the europe-west1 region.
This allows European developers to build and test prototypes with local latency without paying for a standard instance.
