Google Cloud Run vs. IBM Cloud Code Engine

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.

It would be a good solution for running serverless applications. Because infrastructure setup and maintenance expenses can be avoided, the investment will pay for itself. The time to value is short, allowing IT to respond to business demands quickly. It aided us in customizing security as well as operating a personal project using to autoscale up and down approach. Also, because there isn't much hassle, items can be pushed into production as soon as possible. Simply push a container, create an application, and you're ready to go. But, It is less suited when you have a static machine or need to keep data in some way and do not want to utilize network storage or a database.

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

• Managed Environment for partners and customers - shifting skills and speed to CSP
• A variety of programming model support
• Elastic scalability for cloud native development and speed
• Flexible consumption model
• Containerized workloads with horizontal scalability
• Here is an example - live demo walk-thru delivered to partners and community:

• 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

• the pricing structure is complicated, and the servers are expensive. I really think they should offer better pricing options and support for more languages
• sometimes the servers go down, and they take too long to respond to support tickets
• uploading documents is slow since I have to do it one by one, making the process much longer than it should be

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

Incentivized

Since this capability supports a wide variety of use cases - all on non proprietary and open technology based frameworks

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.

Consumers can purchase individual components as well as unlocking new bundles with special features and services including the extensive data management governance capabilities of the Automation range. Kubernetes containerizing for effective service implementation and an agile, flexible multi-cloud data program help both utilization expansion and deployment to be improved by this architecture.

Not seen any major issues when we run applications its good

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

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

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.

What impresses me most about IBM Cloud Code Engine is the container workload management capability and the Cloud services and dataflow monitoring functionalities. Data security and network security control via IBM Cloud Code Engine is quite excellent and very responsive data integration functions and the first deployment is not very technical.

Not part of purchase.

It has good auto scale feature and reliable also

Incentivized

We have very good support when needed

• 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

• [One] positive is that we have one tool to learn (and a simple one) for all kinds of deployment. We need less people to maintain the system.
• We have saved a lot of time on trouble shooting. It's clear how it works. It's "just" kubernetes..
