Hidden costs

  • Network egress to internet billed per-GB and rises past free tier (200 GiB/month egress to certain destinations)
  • Sustained-use and committed-use discounts are separate mechanisms and easy to miss when comparing to flat-rate competitors
  • Custom machine types carry a 5% premium over predefined machine type pricing
  • GKE charges a $0.10/hour cluster management fee per cluster (Standard and Autopilot alike)
  • Cloud SQL high-availability configuration doubles vCPU, memory, and persistent disk costs
  • Nearline/Coldline/Archive storage classes carry early-deletion minimum storage durations (30/90/365 days) and per-GB retrieval fees

Runs these stacks well

  • Spring Boot

    Google Cloud Run and GKE both run a Spring Boot JAR/container with minimal setup.

  • ASP.NET Core

    Google Cloud Run runs a containerized ASP.NET Core app cross-platform.

  • Java

    Google Cloud Run and GKE both run a Java JAR/container with minimal setup.

  • C# / .NET

    Google Cloud Run runs a containerized .NET app cross-platform.

  • MongoDB

    Google Cloud Compute Engine or GKE runs a self-hosted MongoDB cluster with strong network performance.

  • SQL Server

    Google Cloud SQL for SQL Server offers a managed alternative outside the Microsoft ecosystem.

  • CockroachDB

    Google Cloud Compute Engine/GKE gives the multi-region footprint CockroachDB clusters are built for.

  • Cassandra

    Google Cloud Compute Engine gives the multi-zone footprint Cassandra clusters are built for.
