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.
