Hey everyone,

for our non-profit sportsclub I have created a application wrapped in docker that integrates into our slack workspace to streamline some processes. Currently I had it running on a virtual server but wanted to get rid of the burden of maintaining it. The server costs around 30€ a year and is way overpowered for this app.

Startup times for the container on GCloud run are too long for Slack to handle the responses (Slack accepts max. 3 seconds delay), so I have to prevent cold starts completely. But even when setting the vCPU to 0.25 I get billed for 1 vCPU second/ second which would accumulate to around 45€ per month for essentially one container running without A FULL CPU.

Of course I will try to rebuild the app to maybe get better cold starts, but for such simple application and low traffic that seems pretty expensive. Anything I am overlooking right now?

Hey everyone, hoping to gain some insights for google cloud run. ! I am looking to host my backend api for my mobile application. Since I don't know if it'll gain traction and the load, I'm looking for cost effective solution. If there is even one request to the API, it needs to have little latency since it's near real time app, does google cloud run help with this? I cannot find any info on start up time and also not really able to calculate this.

Hi guys,
I have about 50 to 60 cloud run functions in my GCP project and i want to know if there is any way of knowing which cloud function is costing me more and how much was the billed amount for each cloud function in the past 30 days ?

Thanks :)
