Microservices deployment has become faster and cost optimization is driving daily development
While Google Cloud Run does a great job of reducing costs, to mitigate cold starts, users can set minimum instances, but scaling to zero costs has become a cost-saving advantage even when idle, and idle instance costs might occur. This can be avoided because whenever a heavy container causes a cold start, it affects latency and sensitivity of the application. When it starts from idle to full run, it scales slowly, causing slowness in the service deployed; sometimes some of the APIs fail to respond. It is difficult to identify the bug because it is often due to the idleness of the application and not the code, which can be quite frustrating. Additionally, simple tasks for developers who just want to run a few lines of code can be more complex. I would say optimizing concurrency can improve the experience; currently, managing multiple containers in a single Google Cloud Run instance becomes quite difficult, especially tasks such as logging and local proxy monitoring. Google provides fully orchestrated alternatives, but Cloud Run is better for scaling. Slowness in applications is a notable issue.
