What do you like best about Google Cloud Run?

What I like aboht Google Cloud Run is that it is serverless. It takes away all infrastructure management and focuses on what matters the most. Another thing, this platform does everything; from running the codes, deploying, and package. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud Run?

What I dislike about Google Cloud Run is that it is an expensive tool compared to the other traditional hosting platforms. Another thing is that there is very little to few customizatiin options available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Google cloud run users can handle thousands of users all at once without a hitch, another thing is that the tool allows multiple users to work on a single project so it makes collaboration very easy and simply. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Google Cloud Run?

All it takes to run a container in cloud run is to upload an OCI image to a registry and pass the image URL to Cloud Run.

Since the container is self-contained, I can use whatever language I want. E.g. Go is a predestined language for Cloud Run as you can create an image directly from the go binary without any additional files.

A/B testing is easy with Cloud Run as I can send a certain percentage of my traffic to a new version of my container.

In contrast to Cloud Functions an instance of Cloud Run can handle multiple concurrent requests without starting additional instances. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud Run?

Running containers comes at the cost of building and maintaining the container. That might require CI/CD pipelines and lifecycle management for the dependencies you are using in your container. Not the fault of Cloud Run, but you need to keep this in mind. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We are using Cloud Run for services that need to scale on demand, where we have a very different load. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Google Cloud Run?

It is a fantastic service that provides an easy way to deploy containerized applications, it is very flexible and the pricing is very fair. As other GCP services, the platform offers useful important information like metrics, logs and an excellent user interface to manage, maintain and monitor the clusters. The documentation is extremely good and what I really love is that you can use command line to do everything you need from different languages; this is very useful to create dynamic systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud Run?

There is nothing I dislike about the service, I think this is more related to the GCO recommendations system which always recommend to use other GCP services instead providing more generic solutions, of course this is a marketing startegy which is good because you also learn about other services provided by Google. But this is always like this and sometimes becames a little bit annoying Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

My company is providing customers all their platforms in a containerized environment with Google Cloud Run, the SLAs that Google promise is enough to grant our clients the reliability they need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Google Cloud Run?

Scaling to 0 is very useful for us as cost is always a driving factor for solutions Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud Run?

Needs better integration with monitoring. Dashboards with errors should take you to the error. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Running applications that can scale to 0 is the biggest benefit for us. Integrating our services with pub/sub have unlocked lots for us. Our systems are more robust. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Google Cloud Run?

One of the best things about Cloud Run is that it is a fully managed service, which means we don't have to worry about infrastructure management. This saves us a lot of time and resources that we can allocate towards building and improving our application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud Run?

One limitation of Cloud Run is that it has a cold start problem with our application. This means that the first request to our container can take longer than subsequent requests, as the container needs to be initialised. Another limitation is that Cloud Run imposes certain constraints on container size and runtime limits, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

With Cloud Run, we can easily containerize our applications and deploy them to a serverless environment that automatically scales based on traffic demand. This means that we can handle sudden traffic spikes without any additional configuration or resource management on our end. A Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Compared to other GCP offerings for Compute, Cloud Run beats its offering and competitors. Cloud Run offers lots of flexible features such as scale to 0, supports any language or runtime, highly scalable, transparent pricing,lots of built-in domain and networking features, next-gen web features such as HTTP2, gRPC and more.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud Run?

Lots of features are still not in "General Availability."

More documentation, user case studies and examples needed Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Cloud Run is the perfect solution for running compute workloads that are better than any of GCP's other alternatives regarding serverless, managed offerings. Run offers better pricing model than others as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
