Azure Container Apps vs. Google Cloud Run

Azure Container Apps is a welcome addition for sure. Based on my experience, this has enabled us to move fully to the cloud and managed everywhere in one spot and on the go. We can scale it to our end as much as we would like. It can be assess anywhere and it is fully secure

Microservices and RestFul API application as it is fast and reliant. Seamless integration with event triggers such as pubsub or event arc, so you can easily integrate that with usecases with file uploads, database changes, etc. Basically great with short-lived tasks, if however, you have long-running processses, Cloud Run might not be idle for this. For example if you have a long running data processing task, other solutions such as kubeflow pipelines or dataflow are more suited for this kind of tasks. Cloud Run is also stateless, so if you need memory, you will have to connect an external database.

• Gives user a level of autonomous access
• No control plane or node pool to manage
• Less kubernetes experience required
• Easily integrate with Azure devops

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

Incentivized

• Continue to enhance security
• Better pricing
• Flexibility

Incentivized

• The UI can be made simpler. Currently the UI is bloated and it takes time to find out what you want
• More integrations with container registry providers (ECR, dockerhub)
• Better permissions UX. Currently GCP requires service accounts to be used with cloud products, the experience adding/removing permissions is difficult to navigate

I would rather use AKS for my critical applications. The fact that the deployment process is dependent on as cli makes it hard for us to integrate with our standard CI/CD tools

We definitely need to renew it because we dont own our own infrastructure and storage and we are happy with Cloud Run features

Azure Container Apps are fantastic and it is a game changer. I would recommend it to anyone considering it. As you can scale it to what you would like and it is fully cloud native with better security. It is a no brainier not to consider it. I do believe that with further improve it will become even more attractive

The UI/console is great... the documentation is top-notch for developers, but the CLI itself when you have to script around it is very complex and easy to forget some options... the downside of a generic command line client.

Not seen any major issues when we run applications its good

Initially we felt slow but slowly it picked up and easy to manage

I was involved in the initial implementation setup, Its easy with the given documentaiton we can do ourself. Not that critical

AWS Lambda supports code zip package, enabling lower cold start time. Also, AWS Lambda pricing is much simpler, easier to understand.

Other than that, the 2 products are very similar, including the Docker image support: the image must be built based on proprietary base image.

Obviously, if your other services are running in GCP, then Google Cloud Run is your only choice for tight integration, & private networking.

Not part of purchase.

It has good auto scale feature and reliable also

Incentivized

We have very good support when needed

• As it is cloud native, we no longer required to have onsite prem
• Reducing both from an energy and security perspective
• It is worth the investment as we have saved about 10% of our ICT cost

Incentivized

• 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
