Awesome to see this project -- this is one of the use cases that really emphasizes/shows off the benefits of choosing Kubernetes as an ecosystem -- it's possible to build things like this on k8s because it has concerned itself with a nauseating amount of the mechanics (and abstractions thereon) of application development and delivery.
If I didn't know any better I'd expect both fly.io and Render to be build on Kubernetes, and I feel like I could build Cloud Run in a weekend with Kubernetes (with decent isolation and actual global reach as well) -- there is a tremendous amount of value in the ecosystem just waiting to be used for projects like this.
- tebbers 6y agoThe DigitalOcean App Platform is built on Kubernetes as well: https://thenewstack.io/digitalocean-app-platform-eases-kubernetes-deployments-for-developers/ https://thenewstack.io/digitalocean-app-platform-eases-kuber...
- hardwaresofton 6y agoThey're also probably one of the least-bullshit k8s providers as well -- DO has always very pragmatic and it really shows through in their offerings.

Well you can, because Cloud Run is using Knative behind the scenes, so you only need a web UI
- hardwaresofton 6y agoI'm sure an actually robust Cloud Run look-alike is a lot more work than just adding a web UI but yes, I agree. Details like isolation, storage, security, addon-services, etc take a lot more time to work out (and some lessons you only learn by doing it wrong once or twice) but simply running KNative does get you ~80% of the way there.
