I wonder if Cloud Run or Kubernetes is the safest bet for the future, when using Google Cloud.

  Fingers crossed. I love Cloud Run.

    It’s good but extremely expensive. I opted for a custom solution, and it’s now costing me a tenth of the price.

      Interesting. Did you buy and setup your own servers, use a different company to host services in the cloud, or something in between?

        I just rented servers on OVH instead. I mostly do CPU intensive and highly parallel computations, and went from 3500€ to 300€ for my usage. As a startup I often put simplicity and ease of use before pricing but in this case that was too much of a difference!

          That makes sense. Thanks for the insight!

    Same. Cloud Run is a really nice product. It makes deploying containers a breeze and simpler than AWS's equivalent service (ECS / Fargate.) I also found GCP's developer tools and docs to be quite solid, better than AWS. Example: It's nice that they provide Terraform snippets for most of their resources.

    Cloud Run[1] is Google Cloud's most underrated product. I am waiting for the GPU support (it is in preview) as well[2] 1 - https://ashishb.net/tech/how-to-deploy-side-projects-as-web-services-for-free/ 2 - https://cloud.google.com/run/docs/configuring/services/gpu
