What the models said
“For a typical production web app in 2026, I’d recommend Google Cloud Run as the default hosting platform.”
“Choose Cloud Run if you already use Docker and want strong autoscaling without managing Kubernetes.”
“The Vibe: "Managed Cloud." Best for people who want the raw power of DigitalOcean, AWS, or Google Cloud, but don't want to manage a command-line server.”
“You prefer a simpler, cheaper cloud than AWS/GCP but still need scalability and root access.”
