Running a gem server run on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) has a lot of advantages

It is important to recall that, running a gem server run on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) means that:

App Engine can autoscale the number of instances based on CPU utilization to minimize the amount of maintenance for the gem server.

Having the gem server on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) also allows you to use existing cloud infrastructure such as Stackdriver Logging, Cloud Storage and direct access to the underlying VM running the gem server for fine-grained control.

The gem server can store an unlimited amount of public and private gems allowing an unlimited amount of users with the correct permissions to access it.

In fact flexibility and customization is at the core of stakes.
