Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use it for running simple web applications that aren't ready to be brought into the full deployment pipeline.

Pros and Cons

easy deployment
no Kubernetes setup needed

clearly delineated purpose
better instruction on when to use vs other options

Return on Investment

allowed for easy deployment
allowed teams to get around our normal deployment controls and practices
caused fuzziness about when to use which solution

Alternatives Considered

Heroku Platform

Google Cloud Run is integrated into GCP resources, admin, and billing. But it is not as easy to use as some other platforms like Heroku.

Other Software Used

Google Kubernetes Engine, Heroku Platform, Google Compute Engine

For prototyping or quick deployment, it works as an interesting step between containerized deployment (Kubernetes) vs pure Compute Engine (raw servers).

It's not well suited for Kubernetes shops, or for teams that would prefer more hardware control.

A fine option, if you need it
