So far so good. Managed to host gitlab, prometheus, grafana and ghost working this weekend, which I'm pretty chuffed about.
Not as clean as OP's, but the intention was learning, so sacrifices on convenience are acceptable.
started using this... pretty awesome vs the wall of yaml it replaces. Not suitable for all workloads (max 1cpu/2 gigs ram, 4 minute max pod startup time, can't do background work when not serving a request). But it replaces cert-manager, ingress-nginx, oauth2-proxy, k8s service, k8s deployment, k8s secret, k8s configmap, k8s hpa, k8s pdb, helm charts and cluster management.
IF you want, you can still have it by use "Cloud Run for Anthos", and deploy your container to your GKE cluster with the same Knative API. This allows you to have more control on memory/CPU etc.

It's cheap insurance to create an LLC to protect yourself from extreme situations for this kind of thing. Worst case the LLC goes defunct, but you won't be personally liable. https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/limited-liability-pr... EDIT: This comment is based on the assumption that the parent was trying to start a side business. I'm certainly not advocating fraud.
wut? are you suggesting that if there's a cost overrun you just shutdown the LLC? that sounds like a loop that couldn't possibly be true? when you sign TOS you agree to be responsible for service fees. if being an LLC indemnifies against these sorts of charges it would also indemnify you against other legitimate fees? take out a business credit card and cash advance and then close the LLC? free money!

BUT if you have 'malicious intent' -- meaning you build an llc on purpose to overrun costs and get free stuff, you CAN and WILL be sued and face penalties. cause that's just cut-and-dry fraud.

There are nuances to this, obviously fraud is fraud, regardless of using a shell company to perpetrate it, and a new business is unlikely to get a credit limit large enough to be a worthwhile avenue for fraud.
Can anyone shed light on how this compares with Netlify? (Pricing and tech wise). Netlify has basic DB/Identity/Lambda support so I’m guessing it could replace this entirely. I’m using it only to host static websites at the moment.
Cloud Run is to run a fully custom server, as in an API. It can obviously do more than Netlify, however Netlify really excels at static + some server code, while Cloud Run is extremely flexible (server in any language, more resources, etc)

Disclaimer: I work closely on Cloud Run as an SRE. IF you want, you can still have it by use "Cloud Run for Anthos", and deploy your container to your GKE cluster with the same Knative API. This allows you to have more control on memory/CPU etc.
The thing I really want out of these services is the ability to set a payment cap. It’s probably never going to be an issue, but I have anxiety, and I can’t sleep easily knowing that if I fuck up, if someone sinister abuses my application or whatever I may be stuck with a giant bill.

this is misleading, as cost curves are usually exponential for these types of managed services
Definitely something I look out for, but the advantage over something like Cloud Functions, which would be an alternative, is that a Cloud Run service handles multiple requests per instance so it isn't 1:1 with request rate.

(Incidentally, it's fairly common to structure a pair of ltds with the assets in one and the liabilities in another. If the whole thing crashes and burns, at least the IP doesn't go with it).
