Docker vs. Kubernetes on Google Cloud Platform for Cost-Effective Spring Boot Deployments

Srinivas Adilapuram

Abstract: Deploying Java Spring Boot applications on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) involves choosing cost-effective solutions. While Kubernetes provides powerful orchestration, its high costs make it impractical for smaller-scale applications. This article proposes Docker as an alternative for containerizing Spring Boot applications on a single virtual machine (VM). Docker ensures consistent environments, simplifies management, and reduces infrastructure costs. This approach enhances deployment reliability and streamlines operations, making it ideal for budget-conscious teams.
