There are two reasons why our company will not use Cloud Run, even though we would love to, the concept is just what we are looking for for our containers:
1) We are on AWS and expanding to Google is too expensive. Support costs for three engineers to be able to contact Google is $750/month for production workloads. At AWS we pay $200/month as our total spend on infra is about $2000/month. We are a startup with a tight budget, hence the increased spend is too tough to swallow even though we would love to use Cloud Run.
2) We have an Android app. Having seen how other companies have been hell-banned and shut down from having invited devs and other with flagged accounts we just don't dare to use Google Cloud while having an Android app should we end up on the automatic hell ban list at Google. Too risky.
- asciimike 8y agoIs there a reason you can't/wouldn't want to use Knative? Or what if you can run something like "Cloud Run on GKE on AWS" (where your GKE cluster is managed [updated] by Google but running on AWS)?
- euph0ria 8y agoSure, we could, but I suppose one of the big offers here is that it is managed and we don't have to deal with running it ourselves. GKE on AWS doesn't solve my (1,2) concerns.
