Yup, and it’s free so seems like a pretty good deal. Only downside I can see is the potential lock-in into the Google Cloud it has, but that’s with most cloud services anyway.

EDIT: It’s only free during beta. Would feel better if they gave a price point indication of what this may cost, but sounds like you’ll want to be conservative with the amount of requests you send.

It’s a mistake to assume anything free on hyperscalers like GCP. Even ones with free tag. A future price tag needs to be baked into your current designs.

Case in point, recent pricing change of GKE cluster management fee. (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22485625)

They also have Istio with Kubernetes, so you could use this until you're able to migrate to something more adaptable to other environments.
