Google Cloud Run

What do you like best?

The simplicity of using the Cloud Run with the gcloud SDK. With Cloud Run, you can build almost any service on top of it, and with the integration with other GCP services, makes this even easier.

What do you dislike?

I would love to see more content related to the use of the product. Something when you need to solve an issue, the best way to solve is to go to SlackOverflow, and I believe that could be better to have a stronger developer documentation for the service.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

My recommendations about using the service are:

1- First, make sure you update your gcloud components periodically. Cloud Run (and other GCP services) makes updates almost every week, so it's very convenient to have the most updated version of the SDK to help with

2- If you will use Cloud Run + Firestore, make sure that the Service Accounts you will use will not be available for anyone else

3- Integrate your Cloud Run dev code with Cloud Build, in order to deploy the last version of your service or API faster with Continous Integration

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

The main problem I'm solving with Cloud Run is to develop all my REST-based APIs on top of Flask, Python, and Firestore, and you forget about scalability issues. Just develop and forget, Cloud Run makes the rest.

The main benefits I see every day, using Cloud Run, is the ability to just concentrate yourself to develop new features, and the security, scalability, and all that kind of stuff, is done by Cloud Run.
