Are you trying to figure out if Cloud Run is the most cost-effective choice for your next project? Many developers find it difficult to estimate cloud costs without a solid intuition for how billing actually works.
In this episode, Martin Omander sits down with Mitchell Slep, Engineering Manager for Cloud Run, to demystify the two primary billing models and show you exactly how to choose the right one for your architecture.
What you will learn:
1️⃣ Request-based billing: How the default model works, including how to take advantage of the free tier and automatic scaling to zero.
2️⃣ Instance-based billing: Why paying for the full lifetime of an instance can actually save you money for steady workloads or background processing.
3️⃣ The 75% rule: Mitchell shares a professional rule of thumb: if your service is processing requests at least 75% of the time, switching models could lower your bill.
4️⃣ Cost estimation: A step by step look at using the Google Cloud Pricing Calculator to project costs for millions of requests.
