Overall Satisfaction with Google Cloud Run

Most of our platform services are deployed as Google Cloud Run services.

Recently, we have also turned towards Google Cloud Run jobs for performing flow run tasks managed by a job server.

Being an early startup, using Google Cloud Run helps us to keep a tab on our cloud costs based on usage.

Pros

  • Auto scaling
  • Request concurrency
  • Customise memory and CPU resources

Cons

  • Increase request timeout beyond the current 1 hour limit on Google Cloud Run services
  • Support for troubleshooting unexpected Google Cloud Run container exits after running for several hours
  • Support configuration for calling of HTTP endpoints for pull based subscriptions
  • 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
DigitalOcean auto scale droplets is still in early stages and is not on par with Google Cloud Run.

It is easy to develop and test Google Cloud Run applications compared to other available alternatives.

Google Cloud Run doesn't place any constraints on the number of related endpoints one can bundle within an application.
