Cloud Run provides direct and private connectivity from the orchestrating AI application to cloud databases like AlloyDB or Cloud SQL that can then be leveraged as a vector store for RAG implementations. With direct VPC egress capabilities Cloud Run can now connect to private database endpoints without the extra step of a serverless VPC connector.
Custom domains and multi-regional deployments
By default any Cloud Run service receives a URL in the form of
First, that URL is not very memorable, and the domain suffix does not map to the service provider. It’s therefore impossible for consumers of the service to identify whether this is a legitimate service. Even the SSL certificate is issued to Google and does not provide information about the ownership of that service.
The second concern is that if you scale your service to multiple regions to provide HA and lower latency to your distributed user base, the different regions will have different URLs. This means that switching from one service region to another has to be done at the client or DNS level and isn’t transparent to users.
