Overall Satisfaction with Google Cloud Run

We use Google Cloud Run to host Google Tag Manager server side scripts.

Pros

  • Easy to setup
  • Very cost efficient
  • Quick delivery and scalable options to maintain speedy deliveries if site ever needs it.

Cons

  • The documentation is not always clear and sometimes trial and error is needed
  • The menu system is not user friendly and inconsistent: sometimes it's tabs, sometimes menus and other configuration pages are long to scroll. Could (and will) be improved.
  • It runs well for GTM server side which enables great marketing campaigns and re-targeting
  • The cost is negligible vs other solutions
  • Easy to maintain and upgrade
For us, Google Cloud Run is a complement to Google Tag Manager to enable server-side data collection.
