Martin Omander always says Cloud Run scales well, but does it? In this one, JK joins me to break down how he took a side project (RocketFlag) from zero to *60 million requests per month* without hiring an ops team or losing his mind over a massive cloud bill.
Watch along and learn about:
* *The stack:* Why Cloud Run is a "cheat code" for cold starts and high concurrency workloads.
* *The "cost trap":* How Firestore and BigQuery writes can cost a lot if you aren't careful (and the batching system JK built in an all nighter to fix it).
* *Security:* Using Cloud Armor to block the "garbage traffic" and script kiddies before they even hit your app logs.
* *The bill:* A transparent look at the December invoice; spoiler it’s about $180 USD.
If you’re building something solo and want to see how to handle "real" traffic without becoming a full time Site Reliability Engineer (SRE), this one is for you.
