Cloud Run introduces a heap of other considerations at the enterprise level - container building and repository management which may not be managed by your team etc.
Cloud Functions/Lambda are very nice in a company where you don't necessarily have access to making your own AMI, or container image etc.
At least that's what we used them for at my old job. Still had to deal with some level of corporate tech indirection (E.G. We couldn't make the API gateway however we wanted, our account had no access to route53 etc.), but much less than with containers. It was just a quicker way to get code running.
- mhoad 4y agoI should have mentioned this in the original post but the missing piece of the puzzle to help close that gap is Buildpacks https://buildpacks.io/ https://buildpacks.io/ which gets you out of the path of having to think about creating containers and again AFAIK is what Cloud Functions is using under the hood.
