Hi Kelsey! Appreciate your take here. You obviously have deeper insight than I do. Honestly I'm in favor of the path I described. Engineers I work with spend too much time already arguing the best platform for any given service, especially when the pros and cons are very, very similar. That being said, with the recent features released for Run (load-balancing, min instances, streaming gRPC) we're basically 100% bought in to that direction. I can't think of any feature AppEngine or Functions have (esp AppEngine) that would pull me back.

Though I will say I dearly miss the days of first generation GAE standard, when things like memcache, taskqeue, datastore, auth and logging were all baked in as first-class citizens and Just Worked™.

Cloud run is attempting to enable that "Just Works" experience, but we are trying to do it by leveraging the best of open source, and native client libraries. Feels like we are getting close and I'll be sure to share this feedback with the rest of the team.
