Pocketbase Cloud host testing

Testing Hosting Pocketbase across cloud providers in a "serverless" way.

Both ways require a pocketbase container. see ./Dockerfile

Pocketbase initialised as an "extended" instance (Not using a straight up built binary) but rather builds the executable based on the pocket ./server project.

• AWS - Fargate
• Google - CloudRun

Initial investigation, Cloudrun is MUCH cheaper than Fargate, and additionally scales to 0 (No running instances). Fargate doesn't easily support scale to 0 functionality.

Scale to 0, means cloud run only charges when processing requests. Further to this 'cold starts' aren't bad at all.

It appears minimum spend on Fargate is about $7/8 a month with 0.25vCPU and 1 GB memory. Cloud run can be Zero

Setup

Update placeholder values in sst config sst.config.ts

providers: {
    aws: {
      profile: "<enter_profile>",
      region: "eu-west-2",
    },
    gcp: {
      project: "<Enter gcp project id>",
    },
    docker: "4.5.8",
  },

Deploying

Uses stage name to determine which cloud provider to use. Currently supports aws and google cloud.

sst deploy --stage <gcp | aws>

Will throw an error if one of the supported providers aren't used for the stage.
