Product Details

What is Google Cloud Run?

Google Cloud Run is a fully-managed compute platform used to run code in a container directly on top of Google's scalable infrastructure. It is designed to make developers more productive by allowing them to focus only on writing code using a favorite language, while Cloud Run takes care of operating the service. It includes 2 million requests free per month.

Any language, any library, any binary

Developers can write code using any language, framework, and libraries, package it up as a container, run "gcloud run deploy", and the app will be live—provided with everything it needs to run in production. Building a container is completely optional. Developers using Go, Node.js, Python, Java, .NET Core, or Ruby, can use the source-based deployment option that builds the container using the best practices for the language in use.


Fast autoscaling

Whether for event-driven, long running services or containerized jobs to process data, Cloud Run automatically scales containers up and down from zero. This means users only pay when their code is running.


Automatically build container images from your source

Cloud Run can also automate how you get to production, using buildpacks to enable you to deploy directly from source—without having to install Docker on your machine. You can automate your builds and deploy your code whenever new commits are pushed to a given branch of a Git repository.


Run scheduled jobs to completion

Cloud Run jobs allow you to perform batch processing, with instances running in parallel. Execute run-to-completion jobs that do not respond to HTTP requests—all on a serverless platform. Let your jobs run for up to 24 hours!


Direct VPC connectivity

Send traffic to a VPC network directly and connect with all the services you have running on the VPC.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
In our organization we use Google Cloud Run, and now Cloud Run functions, for all kinds of applications. We use it as microservices for API applications, we use it to deploy GenAI application running with Langchain, and all kinds of other stuff. The big advantage of Cloud Run is that it is almost self managed, we only it to create our Docker container, and specify some configuration about memory, cpu, and instances, and all the rest is managed by Google. Rarely or never had problems with Cloud Run itself.
Pros
  • Manage number of instances given the rate request
  • easily deployable
  • infrastructure as code in terraform available
  • fast and reliable
  • Supports different languages seamlessly
Cons
  • Missing, like in cloud function, an interface for easy testing
  • feature for automatic dashboards based on requests for API like applications
Likelihood to Recommend
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.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We participated in a trial of modernizing our continuous integration and deployment methods and how we would orchestrate the various resources that need to stand up and down during the different pipelines dynamically. We had to re-architect parts of these pipelines to accommodate the new stateless, serverless infrastructure paradigm. We ran some tests over about a quarter on this and similar offerings.
Pros
  • Allocates resources quickly and efficiently.
  • It integrates well into the monitoring tools (console) provided.
  • Robust API and CLI access.
Cons
  • CLI is bloated and can be difficult to get started.
  • The learning curve for configuration is higher than expected for a "simple" paradigm.
  • Limited storage of any kind requires a significant rethink from stateful pipelines.
Likelihood to Recommend
As our product is event-driven, we were well-versed in this method of using Google Cloud Run. We had various checkpoints in our pipelines during a build, sending events to messaging systems or recording/auditing some steps very well suited to stateless event processing, such as was provided. That said, I don't think participating in a build pipeline is the most effective use of Cloud Run.

A fine option, if you need it

We use it for running simple web applications that aren't ready to be brought into the full deployment pipeline.
Pros
Cons
  • clearly delineated purpose
  • better instruction on when to use vs other options
Likelihood to Recommend
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.

  • Deployment experience could be more simplified for mid level users
Likelihood to Recommend
Any application small medium to large sizes, mainly i used if for small hr application to push multi builds in different testing environments to prod usge by end users
