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.

Effective cost management achieved with robust storage features but user experience and data management require improvements
HPE Ezmeral Container Platform is not user-friendly and has many parts that are more difficult than Cloudera. It is also a complex solution and has low features for data management. For example, it cannot make a data catalog or process data lineage without third-party support, which increases the cost for development.

Pros

"Google Cloud Run and the Google Cloud environment positively impact my organization by providing almost 99.9% availability for applications, which instills confidence in the organization and users by reducing the dependency on the physical network and allowing access to applications and data."
"Google Cloud Run has positively impacted our organization by saving us five thousand dollars per month based on scheduling our infrastructure from nine p.m. to nine a.m. for shutdown and starting, as well as stopping the MongoDB clusters."
"Google Cloud Run is a very good tool that I use for deploying applications; its ease of deployment, auto scaling features, and resource optimization are very nice features that help individuals deploy their apps and solutions into the cloud without any hiccups."
"In Google Cloud Run, we are mainly using the feature where we can directly pull images from Docker Hub."
"Google Cloud Run has positively impacted my organization in numerous ways, such as significant cost efficiency and reduced overhead since we only pay for the resources that we use."
"Google Cloud Run has impacted my organization positively through faster deployment and development, where developers can deploy applications quickly without worrying about infrastructure, push the app live with just containers, speed up time to market significantly, launch features faster and iterate more often, pay only when code runs without maintaining idle servers, reduce cloud costs dramatically for applications with low or unpredictable traffic, automatically scale based on traffic spikes to handle sudden loads without manual intervention so our business does not lose users during peak hours, and let developers focus on business logic instead of DevOps."
"The stability of the HPE Ezmeral Container Platform is good, and I rate it an eight out of ten."
"If customers focus on primary apps or if they are using them for data science, this is a good solution."
"If customers focus on primary apps or if they are using them for data science, this is a good solution."
 

Cons

"If speaking about improvements for Google Cloud Run, I think they could reduce the cold starts and manage to configure a set number of minimum instances to keep the instances in a warm phase."
"There are a few areas that could be improved. We have experienced cold start latency because when scaling from zero, the first request is slow."
"There are a few areas where Google Cloud Run could improve."
"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."
"One area where Google Cloud Run could be better is the cold start; when a container scales, it starts from zero and takes a moment to boot up before it can serve the request."
"If a customer is focused on process automation or API usage, I would not recommend this solution, but it is good to use for Data Science."
"The modernization in Ezmeral could be improved."
"HPE Ezmeral Container Platform is not user-friendly and has many parts that are more difficult than Cloudera. It is also a complex solution and has low features for data management."
