Google Cloud Run vs Lambdacult: What are the differences?
What is Google Cloud Run? Run stateless HTTP containers on a fully managed environment or in your own GKE cluster. A managed compute platform that enables you to run stateless containers that are invocable via HTTP requests. It's serverless by abstracting away all infrastructure management.
What is Lambdacult? A low-cost alternative to API Gateway for Lambda functions. In our experience, API Gateway is often a major contributor to costs when running serverless APIs on top of AWS Lambda. We want to make it more affordable to call Lambdas over HTTP(S) while also being easier to setup.
Google Cloud Run and Lambdacult can be primarily classified as "Serverless / Task Processing" tools.
Run cloud service containers instead of cloud-native services
- Running containers means that your microservices are not "cooked" into a cloud provider's architecture.
- Moving from one cloud to the next means that you simply spin up new instances of your containers in the new cloud using that cloud's container service.
- Start redirecting your traffic to the new resources.
- Turn off the containers in the cloud you migrated from.
