    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.

    • 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

    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.

    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.

    • 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
