alt Hacker NewsI had the opposite experience with cloud run. Mysterious scale outs/restarts - I had to buy a paid subscription to cloud support to get answers and found none. Moved to self managed VMs. Maybe things have changed now.

https://github.com/claceio/clace is project I am building which gives a Cloud Run type deployment experience on your own VMs. For each app, it supports scale down to zero containers (scaling up beyond one is being built).
The authorization and auditing features are designed for internal tools, any app can be deployed otherwise.

Sadly this is still the case. Cloud Run helped us get off the ground. But we've had two outages where Google Enhanced Support could give us no suggestion other than "increase the maximum instances" (not minimum instances). We were doing something like 13 requests/min on this instance at the time. The resource utilization looked just fine. But somehow we had a blip in any containers being available. It even dropped below our min containers. The fix was to manually redeploy the latest revision.
We're now investigating moving to Kubernetes where we will have more control over our destiny. Thankfully a couple people on the team have experience with this.
Something like this never happened with Fargate in the years my previous team had used that.
