Google Cloud Run vs. Kubernetes

For prototyping or quick deployment, it works as an interesting step between containerized deployment (Kubernetes) vs pure Compute Engine (raw servers). It's not well suited for Kubernetes shops, or for teams that would prefer more hardware control.

K8s should be avoided - If your application works well without being converted into microservices-based architecture & fits correctly in a VM, needs less scaling, have a fixed traffic pattern then it is better to keep away from Kubernetes. Otherwise, the operational challenges & technical expertise will add a lot to the OPEX. Also, if you're the one who thinks that containers consume fewer resources as compared to VMs then this is not true. As soon as you convert your application to a microservice-based architecture, a lot of components will add up, shooting your resource consumption even higher than VMs so, please beware. Kubernetes is a good choice - When the application needs quick scaling, is already in microservice-based architecture, has no fixed traffic pattern, most of the employees already have desired skills.

• Can easily run our apps in a docker in Google Cloud Run which has simplified code testing and deployment.
• Can easily scale and does not have any problem when put under a large load.
• Has all the necessary services so you don't need to look for other cloud solutions.
• Pay as you go model so only pay for that you've used and how long you've used it.

• Complex cluster management can be done with simple commands with strong authentication and authorization schemes
• Exhaustive documentation and open community smoothens the learning process
• As a user a few concepts like pod, deployment and service are sufficient to go a long way

• Some more use case/ manual/notes to be available on internet
• Cost can be minimized.
• Not able to use in mobile phone

• Local development, Kubernetes does tend to be a bit complicated and unnecessary in environments where all development is done locally.
• The need for add-ons, Helm is almost required when running Kubernetes. This brings a whole new tool to manage and learn before a developer can really start to use Kubernetes effectively.
• Finicy configmap schemes. Kubernetes configmaps often have environment breaking hangups. The fail safes surrounding configmaps are sadly lacking.

Flexibility of features snd customzing options tha optimized the large process and make it on the the go to reuse the same process in multiple deployments ot rollouts

Most of the required features for any orchestration tool or framework, which is provided by Kubernetes. After understanding all modules and features of the K8S, it is the best fit for us as compared with others out there.

• Improved production deployment times by 50%
• The error analysis time was reduced by 30%, thanks to its logging and monitoring system.
• The rollback is almost immediate, as it easily allows reverting to a previous stable version.

• Because of microservices, Kubernetes makes it easy to find the cost of each application easily.
• Like every new technology, initially, it took more resources to educate ourselves but over a period of time, I believe it's going to be worth it.
