Overall Satisfaction with Google Cloud Run

We use Google Cloud Run in our organization to deploy the majority of containerized applications into it without owning any infrastructure from our end, which is one of the biggest relief with regards to Google Cloud Run because it takes care of auto scaling, manages latency issues, along with good redundancy with very solid backend support. post Cloud Run major infra management has been reduced to core for our team also it gives lot of savings.

Pros

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

Cons

  • More detailed documentaion we can expect, current looks bit complex
  • I would say its bit expensive so to run small application also we need to pay more
  • Migration part is bit complex need some impriovement over there
  • starting trouble it has I feel , feel slowness in start slowly it picks up.
  • Lots of cost savings and less infra resources
  • Esay to use and manage and deployments also so good choice
  • The only negative part is that we will have zero idea of where the app is running, so we will have to be completely dependent on Google when it comes to the security part.
Usage is easy and also we have GCP as out cloud partner hence we made up our mind to go with Cloud Run and so far no issues things are going fine with it. and getting good features from Google in it.
