Google Cloud Run vs. IBM Cloud Managed Istio

Microservices and RestFul API application as it is fast and reliant. Seamless integration with event triggers such as pubsub or event arc, so you can easily integrate that with usecases with file uploads, database changes, etc. Basically great with short-lived tasks, if however, you have long-running processses, Cloud Run might not be idle for this. For example if you have a long running data processing task, other solutions such as kubeflow pipelines or dataflow are more suited for this kind of tasks. Cloud Run is also stateless, so if you need memory, you will have to connect an external database.

It is a perfect application when you have multiple users and/or developers and you want to create rules and standards for access and the ability to change access levels. The reporting of usage is good, but adding more granularity into the metrics that have been used to measure are not specific enough. They provide detail but drilling into the detail would be more appropriate i.e. access to the baseline data.

• Real-time autoscaling. Escalamento automático em tempo real
• Simplified Continuous Deployment. Implantação contínua simplificada
• Running tasks in the background. Execução de tarefas em segundo plano

• Debug issues
• Monitoring
• allows many services form many different sources

• Cloud Run doesn't allow you to redeploy an already existing revision which can be inconvenient in some use cases
• Tricky to get the deployment working to start but once it's working that's great
• The actual deployment is not the fastest but it's not too bad

• Still missing functionalities for a full usage as traffic director.

We definitely need to renew it because we dont own our own infrastructure and storage and we are happy with Cloud Run features

The UI/console is great... the documentation is top-notch for developers, but the CLI itself when you have to script around it is very complex and easy to forget some options... the downside of a generic command line client.

Not seen any major issues when we run applications its good

Initially we felt slow but slowly it picked up and easy to manage

I was involved in the initial implementation setup, Its easy with the given documentaiton we can do ourself. Not that critical

AWS Lambda supports code zip package, enabling lower cold start time. Also, AWS Lambda pricing is much simpler, easier to understand.

Other than that, the 2 products are very similar, including the Docker image support: the image must be built based on proprietary base image.

Obviously, if your other services are running in GCP, then Google Cloud Run is your only choice for tight integration, & private networking.

1) One-stop solution for all the complex network connectivity managed by [IBM Cloud Managed Istio]. 2) Nice dashboard to understand the flow. 3) Easy to troubleshoot the service if any one of the APIs is not responding. 4) We can integrate it with Azure Kubernetes service and other cloud provider Kubernetes services. 5) Monitoring the health of the pods can be easily configured and alerts can be triggered very accurately with this tool.

It has good auto scale feature and reliable also

Incentivized

• It has saved us some costs since we now do not require a live server and have moved to a serverless workflow for these services
• Breaking changes do not affect the entire application now that we have separated our concerns using a serverless service
• Much easier to debug since we can now isolate our services and reduce the search space for finding/fixing bugs

Incentivized

• Management burden is reduced resulting in positive ROI.
• Application is being seamlessly instrumented with good impact on business.
