Google Cloud Run vs Kubeless: What are the differences?
# Introduction
In this comparison, we will highlight the key differences between Google Cloud Run and Kubeless.
1. **Execution Environment**: Google Cloud Run utilizes container images to run applications, while Kubeless allows users to run serverless functions.
2. **Scalability**: Cloud Run automatically scales the number of containers based on incoming traffic, whereas Kubeless requires manual configuration for scaling.
3. **Billing Model**: Google Cloud Run bills per second with a minimum usage of 100 milliseconds, while Kubeless allows for precise billing based on function execution time.
4. **Infrastructure Management**: With Google Cloud Run, Google manages the infrastructure, while Kubeless requires the management of Kubernetes clusters.
5. **Supported Languages**: Kubeless supports multiple languages like Python, Node.js, etc., while Google Cloud Run has wider language support due to containerization.
6. **Maintenance**: Google Cloud Run abstracts away infrastructure maintenance tasks, providing a more serverless experience, whereas Kubeless requires more direct management due to its Kubernetes nature.
In Summary, Google Cloud Run and Kubeless differ in terms of their execution environment, scalability, billing model, infrastructure management, supported languages, and maintenance requirements, offering users varied options for deploying their applications and functions.

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.

What is Google Cloud Run?
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 Kubeless?
Kubeless is a Kubernetes native serverless Framework. Kubeless supports both HTTP and event based functions triggers. It has a serverless plugin, a graphical user interface and multiple runtimes, including Python and Node.js.

What are some alternatives to Google Cloud Run and Kubeless?
AWS Lambda
AWS Lambda is a compute service that runs your code in response to events and automatically manages the underlying compute resources for you. You can use AWS Lambda to extend other AWS services with custom logic, or create your own back-end services that operate at AWS scale, performance, and security.
Google App Engine
Google has a reputation for highly reliable, high performance infrastructure. With App Engine you can take advantage of the 10 years of knowledge Google has in running massively scalable, performance driven systems. App Engine applications are easy to build, easy to maintain, and easy to scale as your traffic and data storage needs grow.
AWS Fargate
AWS Fargate is a technology for Amazon ECS and EKS* that allows you to run containers without having to manage servers or clusters. With AWS Fargate, you no longer have to provision, configure, and scale clusters of virtual machines to run containers.
Heroku
Heroku is a cloud application platform – a new way of building and deploying web apps. Heroku lets app developers spend 100% of their time on their application code, not managing servers, deployment, ongoing operations, or scaling.
Firebase
Firebase is a cloud service designed to power real-time, collaborative applications. Simply add the Firebase library to your application to gain access to a shared data structure; any changes you make to that data are automatically synchronized with the Firebase cloud and with other clients within milliseconds.
