Google Cloud

A powerful cloud platform for modern workloads.

What is Google Cloud?

Google Cloud is a powerful platform with particular strengths in data, Kubernetes and artificial intelligence. A lot of what Google built at its own scale is available here to smaller projects too. BigQuery searches enormous datasets in seconds, GKE counts among the most mature managed Kubernetes offerings, and Cloud Run brings containers online in seconds without thinking about servers. The console is tidier than some competitors, which makes getting started pleasant.

How we use it

We use Google Cloud when its services fit the project best or are already in play in the surrounding setup. Cloud Run is our favourite for containerised services that may scale to zero when nothing is happening. If you need to analyse large datasets or run a data warehouse, BigQuery is often the shortest route from raw data to real answers.

bash
gcloud run deploy my-api \
  --source . \
  --region europe-west1 \
  --allow-unauthenticated
deploy a container to cloud run straight from source

Good to know

Cloud Run scales to zero and costs nothing while idle, but you pay a cold start on the first request. Keep a minimum instance count warm and responses are instant again, though the bill starts ticking once more.
