Use Cases and Deployment Scope

In the evolution towards digital products, high availability becomes a critical requirement to enhance the user experience of our customers. In the healthcare industry, demand is often affected by seasonality (people get sick more in winter), so having robust applications built on auto-scalable infrastructure minimizes availability risks, allowing progress on other business and user requirements.

Pros and Cons

scalability
managing revisions
monitoring and logging
CI/CD with gitlab
independence of programming languages

The responsibility for data security lies in the hands of third parties
It relies on an internet connection
Integration with on premise systems

Return on Investment

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.

Likelihood to Recommend

Integration with Google Cloud Run is appropriate when investment in infrastructure is prohibitively expensive, such as having a building contingency for high availability. Additionally, since it is auto-scalable, costs are calculated based on resource usage, avoiding expenses from idle infrastructure.The handling of sensitive information could be a disadvantage, as it remains in the hands of third parties. On the other hand, I wouldn't use this solution for applications that manage states since there is no disk-level persistence.

Be agile with Cloud Run!
