Equivalent on AWS

The closest AWS service is AWS App Runner: runs web applications and APIs straight from source code or a container image, with automatic scaling and HTTPS.

How DomainHostly helps with Cloud Run

  • Plan: choose the right setup, size and region for your workload and budget.
  • Set up securely: configure Cloud Run with least-privilege access, encryption and backups where they apply.
  • Migrate: move from shared hosting, your own servers or the other cloud with minimal downtime.
  • Run and optimise: monitoring, updates and regular cost reviews so you only pay for what you use.

Containers & Kubernetes: Run applications packaged as containers, with managed Kubernetes and container registries.

What to consider: Containers & Kubernetes

  • Keep images small and scanned; store them in a private registry close to where they run.
  • Choose serverless containers for a few services and Kubernetes when you run many services or need its ecosystem.
  • Set CPU and memory requests and autoscaling rules so you pay for what containers actually use.
