Google Cloud Run and Azure Container Apps feels like the closest analogues.

Both allow deployment of web apps without an adapter layer. Both scale to zero (really useful for hobby apps; small internal apps that do not get sustained traffic, but can get bursty). Both allow concurrency control.

Cloud Run "family" is quite a nice way of managing serverless ("orchestrationless"?) containers. Cloud Run worker pools for background workers that connect to Pub/Sub. Cloud Run jobs for long running tasks like extracts, ETL. Cloud Run instances (newer offering) for always on agents.
