I have a VueJS site on app engine, I would like to use wordpress for a blog placing it on the same domain at the same level at the /blog/ directory.

I can probably do this with dispatch.yaml and having wordpress hosted on the same GAE project as an additional service but then i need to purchase Google Cloud SQL which is overpriced for my use case, Id rather use a compute instance with php and sql running.

Is there any way to achieve this ? using App Engine or does it all have to be moved to a compute instance ?

  • Google Cloud SQL is a bargain for companies when you factor features, managed services and employee salaries. For self hosting, Compute Engine is a good/smart choice for running your own website + MySQL/MariaDB. Commented Jun 1, 2023 at 0:38
  • Its expensive when your website is not generating any revenue Commented Jun 1, 2023 at 9:09

  • And as I said it doesnt make it a viable option if you are not a commercial business, its crazy money for a static blog Commented Jun 6, 2023 at 10:24
