What do you like best about Google Cloud?

I'm in a B2B company and Generally I use APIs & Services for my project in my current company.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud?

I was using Google Cloud from college life, for study purpose, for training, and to understand cloud computing from college to job life and did not face any issue in using Google Cloud platform. That's why I never face any situation that makes Google Cloud dislike so much. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Google Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

Google Cloud solve lot of problems in my B2B company like providing me Google Map services with 90 days free trial, provide me Firebase Services for my Flutter Application (Services like Google Cloud reCAPTCHA, Firestore, Firebase Authentication etc.). Also GCP provide me Cloud Run service which is use in Next.js and React.js website for CI/CD, So our Client can see company's webstie and some investment in our webstie. So that's why I think Google Cloud Platform is a very good platform B2B and Large B2C compaines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Google Cloud?

The best thing was to use google cloud run and to test it for real time task - that is using faas approach - testing the deep learning seq2seq model for classification task of the video frame in real time. Gcloud run offer multiple parameters like public and private URL to test the app internally ( in the gcloud Ip addresses) or externally ( making the app available for the public), scalability, CPU boost to boost the request from the clients and scalability using minimum and maximum number of instances. And I got results in real time for 20 clients efficiently, accurately and quickly.

Also google offered my project with the grant of 25K$ so I can use the services for free and experiment them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud?

Although I'm able to get real time results which I expected - but there I faced cold start problem - even though I set the minimum instances set to 1; but after remaining idle for above 1 to 2 hours - when there is the request of the user to the server - the model started to load and thus - the gcloud run app/link couldn't give results faster and even sometimes give no results.

Secondly, I faced Domain Sharing issue here, even though I have admin acces of my account but I solved after doing experimenting multiple things - there was no proper documentation on how to give access to the user inside the account other users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Google Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

I works for my company HEC computer vision project granted to me on my university ID- that is to experiment the deep learning Model for event detection system on cloud using FAAS approach to compute the results in the real time without maintaining state on the server, making my 1 of the aspect: Stateless Seq2Seq DL model. It is serving me public and private Ip's both to tes the application in real time that is classification of the video frames and checking whether it is fulfulling my 3 metrics which are robustness, scalable and accurate.

What do you like best about Google Cloud Run?

Very easy to use in our current project we are deploying to cloud ru with git action , setting up and running the container was super user friendly,

also from the scaling perspectie i like how it manages the cpu it can go on 0 instance while there are no load which is super usefull for our project , as we load of our service is variable Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud Run?

Dislikes are very less but some point of improvement i can see

1) logs can be more improved, visualizing the logs to detect correct issue sometime becomes challening

2) time of starting of a instance after it goes to zero can be more improved

3) Having a pause option is usefull while the project is in development mode currently cloud run is not having it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Google Cloud Run solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our project is in proper microservice architecture(coregraphy), Using cloud run we are spinning multiple container based on our requriement, also it is a ongoing project so depends on the reqruiement we may need to create new cloud run for a new service feature or decomission one exisiting one . google cloud run solves this problem effciently

also the on demand CPU useages in google cloud run reduced our costing . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Google Cloud Run?

Ive had a good overall experience ising Google Cloud Run. For container-based apps, the platform offers a serverless design, which freeing our team to concentrate on development and releasing code rather than managing servers or scaling.

When creating cloud-native apss the multi-language support and integration with other services come in handy. Enables us to deploy our YAMLs without having to spin Kubernets infrastructure.

Easier intergration makes it easier for me to inegrate with other GCP services like cloud SQL and many more.

Support is also another added advantage so user friendly and resmponise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud Run?

Ease of use and seamless integration are some of the best aspects of this tool. So far no disadvantages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Google Cloud Run solving and how is that benefiting you?

This is a [powerful tool for running containerized . With quick and easy deployment helps us to focus on coding and leave the worry of the underlying infrasructure. Seamless integration with Google Cloud Services are great for providing great eperience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Google Cloud Run?

For a Client Application earlier deployed for 12000+ users in a large Pharma setup there is often App Downtime due to Load even with regular maintenance of App server and using Load Balancer. Later Application shifted to Cloud now it's what I say no headache of high priority incidents due to server crash. It's fully managed and autoscale feature along with pricing as per scaling truly works for us Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud Run?

Earlier Application Server was on a Virtual machine now to migrate to Google run we need to containerize this. Thus there is limitation as of needed to migrate to another Cloud Server to host Application apart from Google. Also with a new instance there is a delay as compared to previous one which is not favourable for banking Applications Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Google Cloud Run solving and how is that benefiting you?

Autoscaling and a running bulk jobs which has an average runtime of more than 300 seconds. It's saving time and cost for us Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
