Google Cloud Run vs. Vultr

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.

I've been with Vultr over 5 years hosting multiple businesses and email related services. I never experienced a significant outage or data loss. Migration has always been successful as well. Support is top tier and IP reputation is clean. I like the choices of OS, ease of platform use and multiple hosting/ region options.

• Auto scaling is the best one
• provide direct VPC connectivity and rigid network
• Cloud SQL and Pub/Sub services
• Handling latency issues

Incentivized

• Good performance from servers close to me and my customers
• Ease of spinning up new servers
• Great service levels of servers I spin up
• Notifications of issues or downtime come through quickly, allowing me to handle client queries with knowledge in hand.

• 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

Incentivized

• The response times for support tickets is too high and a quicker response time would be appreciated
• Availability of the VPS solution in Middle east and Africa would help
• Abilito to connect SIP trunks would make it more easy to run active communictaion platforms on Vultr

We definitely need to renew it because we dont own our own infrastructure and storage and we are happy with Cloud Run features

Incentivized

Just a great product with no bells and whistles, which is the advantage. We spend very little time learning and using Vultr and more time using the systems we have in Vultr to complete our tasks. Not having to worry about the IT overhead is huge and saves a great deal of time

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.

easy to use and configure. great bang for the buck. I need an affordable solution to host in the cloud data from systems installed at our client's site with the ability to drill down and change the configuration remotely. Vultr enabled us to do that in an efficient and affordable way.

Not seen any major issues when we run applications its good

Initially we felt slow but slowly it picked up and easy to manage

Vultr makes it easy to contact technical support. The techs are very competent. In a number of occasions they have bounced the responsibility back to me when they could have saved us all time and heartache by simply implementing the solution directly

Incentivized

I was involved in the initial implementation setup, Its easy with the given documentaiton we can do ourself. Not that critical

Incentivized

Vultr implementation seemed based on open-source tools and basic cloud principles - some things were more complicated to do compared with more developed cloud providers, but on the other hand it was more extensible by open-source tools.

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.

Linode is a more old-school offering. Linode pricing model and infrastructure rely on classic Virtual Machines. What we like about Vultr is that they offer the same at the front, but in the back, the machines are much more flexible and can be tailor-made to our needs, which of course also impacts the costs of running the infrastructure.

Not part of purchase.

Pricing is fair and did not increase

It has good auto scale feature and reliable also

Incentivized

We have very good support when needed

Incentivized

• Built in support for auto scaling helps reduce operational overhead
• Any application performance issues can be addressed quickly by allocating more resources while a proper fix can be planned and rolled out later
• Using Google Cloud Run enables development of microservices which provides granular control for scaling critical services in the platform

• We have experienced a 200% return on using Vultr products with a 100% Customer Satisfaction rating.
• Vultr gives us the regions to deploy where our small business customers are located.
• Vultr has helped us scale up our company and our cloud solutions.
