I wonder how this compares to Cloudflare Workers Unbound https://blog.cloudflare.com/introducing-workers-unbound/

Cloudflare workers both bundled and unbound run on v8 isolates. While they’re performant you can only use JavaScript. Js that works with cloudflare’s v8 version.

With google cloud run it’s effectively running your container. You can use whatever language you want, whatever apt dependencies you need, whatever Linux flavor (ubuntu/alpine/busybox) e.t.c

In that sense cloud run is the more generic serverless platform. The devs can indeed say “it works on my machine, so let’s ship my machine and scale it up as needed and hibernate when not in use”
