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.
