Most container-as-a-service products are either too expensive to run cost-effectively or too limited in functionality. Google Cloud Run, while closest to desired functionality, is expensive and locks users into the complex Google Cloud ecosystem.

Query: “What are the most common pain points with Cloudflare for developers in 2025?”4/8/2026

most other container-as-a-service products are either too expensive or too limited in functionality. Google Cloud Run is the closest to what I would want, but it is both too expensive to run and also locks you into the Google Cloud ecosystem which is both complex and expensive in every other way.
