For all I know, this could be ML advertised AI, but I found various SQL query analyzers and index optimizers that are now frequently offered as part of managed platforms (e.g. Aiven, Google Cloud SQL) extremely helpful.
It varies massively based on the tech stack. I have seen both simple Spring Boot and Quarkus apps take in excess of 10 seconds to start up in JVM mode. However, Quarkus compiled to native binary with GraalVM starts consistently under a second (in the ~500ms range). This is still brutal compared to running it on a vanilla MacBook which usually takes less than 20ms.
Is using IAM with managed serverless products (Run, Functions) effectively same as using IAP+VMs? Curious if there is a world in which managed Cloud Run + IAP makes sense.
