User Testimonials
Google Cloud RunVultr
Likelihood to Recommend
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.

Vultr is well suited for South African based organisations as they have a presence here. It makes dev servers for WordPress more feasible. Having to wait on roundtrips from EU or US slow things down.
Ease of setting up new servers, with clear information on what you are getting for what you pay, makes it so easy to spin up just what you need. With a large range of specifications it means you can find that sweet spot of cost vs. performance.

  • The uptime is perfect . If there are any downtimes it is well informed and its in non - production hours to ensure that the systems are not hit
  • Accessibility and the dashboard is amazing where you have full control over the VPS system.
  • The flexibility of OS on which to create your VPS is also amazing .

Cons
  • 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

  • the ability of increasing a specific configuration without the need of upgrading the whole plan, for example i might need to add more memory but i'm satisfied with my current processors and hard disk capacity (or vise versa)
  • Solving the problems of taking an image to the server if the server capacity (hard disk) is bigger than 1TB (which i'm currently facing a big problem because of that)

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

We’ve been extremely satisfied with the service for many years. After trying other providers, we’ve found nothing that matches the reliability and performance—so we’re not likely to switch anytime soon.

Usability
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.

easy to use and configure. great bang for the buck. I need an affordable solution to host in the cloud data from systems installed at our client's site with the ability to drill down and change the configuration remotely. Vultr enabled us to do that in an efficient and affordable way.

Alternatives Considered
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.

Vultr has better support and competitive pricing. The network is solid and globally deployed. IP reputation is clean, and security is tight. Ease of use and documentation is really good. User experience has been the best I ever experienced. Low stress, reliable hosting I would recommend to anyone. It helped me easily scale and expand my business.

Return on Investment
  • 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
Read full review
  • Vultr allowed us to have an online presence without breaking the bank
  • Vultr allows us to offer an online access to the business services that we offer our clients beyond the systems installed on premises.
  • We are planning on using Vultr more in the coming months as a standard feature to our Real-Time Energy Monitoring platform
