Evolution of a Platform as a Service from the inside
summary
App Engine describes how a new gVisor user-space kernel intercepts and rewrites syscalls so unmodified OpenJDKs run safely, which lets the platform upgrade from Java 7 to Java 8 and later offer Java 11. Teams run >5,000 JVM regression tests nightly on gVisor, migrate millions of Java 7 apps transparently, and prove autoscaling (peak tests hit ~1,000 RPS and ~63 instances before dropping to zero). Deploy options include run any jar listening on port 8080 or supply a container image for Cloud Run.
