    Microservices and RestFul API application as it is fast and reliant. Seamless integration with event triggers such as pubsub or event arc, so you can easily integrate that with usecases with file uploads, database changes, etc. Basically great with short-lived tasks, if however, you have long-running processses, Cloud Run might not be idle for this. For example if you have a long running data processing task, other solutions such as kubeflow pipelines or dataflow are more suited for this kind of tasks. Cloud Run is also stateless, so if you need memory, you will have to connect an external database.

    RedHat OpenShift is not only suited for IBM Cloud but can run in ANY cloud. We installed in Azure Cloud, for example. It can also run on Linux servers or a Power 9 machine. It is built for multi-cloud or on-prem environments. IBM support provides such excellent guidance in the installation and configuration that no other product on the market can beat it.

    • Multiclick provisioning of resources makes it super easy to manage pods and deployments. We don't have to maintain code for the same
    • In built security features and customizability ensures that organization wide standards are integrated well into the containers
    • Automated backups, scale ups and fail recovery makes sure of minimal down time

    Cons
    Google
    • The UI can be made simpler. Currently the UI is bloated and it takes time to find out what you want
    • More integrations with container registry providers (ECR, dockerhub)
    • Better permissions UX. Currently GCP requires service accounts to be used with cloud products, the experience adding/removing permissions is difficult to navigate

    • I wish it had better compatibility with docker file syntax. We had issues when it couldn't build standard docker files
    • Wish it had better documentation
    • Wish they offered fully supported client libraries for the Openshift API rather than dumping it on a 3rd party

    Usability
    Google
    The UI/console is great... the documentation is top-notch for developers, but the CLI itself when you have to script around it is very complex and easy to forget some options... the downside of a generic command line client.

    AWS Lambda supports code zip package, enabling lower cold start time. Also, AWS Lambda pricing is much simpler, easier to understand.
    Other than that, the 2 products are very similar, including the Docker image support: the image must be built based on proprietary base image.
    Obviously, if your other services are running in GCP, then Google Cloud Run is your only choice for tight integration, & private networking.

    We evaluated a number of potential solutions and ultimately chose Red Hat OpenShift because it was compatible with our existing technology. Time and costs savings have been realized throughout the company since we implemented Red Hat OpenShift, and the IT department has been freed up to focus on activities that are more valuable.
