How did you use Cloud Run for this launch?

Maker

For this launch, we are migrating our core automated content generation engine (englishdictations-generator) for englishdictations.com to Cloud Run. The service will run a scheduled backend workflow triggered periodically by Cloud Scheduler. During each run, it autonomously executes a multi-step pipeline: 1. Generates level-appropriate dictation exercises (A1–C1) using LLM APIs with multi-draft strict quality, grammar, and length checks. 2. Synthesizes high-quality audio using Gemini Text-to-Speech. 3. Computes precise sentence-level audio timestamps for interactive playback and dictation verification. 4. Stores generated assets and metadata directly into our storage and database. Hosting this engine on Cloud Run will allow us to run stateless generation jobs automatically with zero infrastructure maintenance.

Hi Product Hunt! I’m Yehor, the creator of EnglishDictations. It’s for English learners who want to catch the words they miss when listening. The idea is simple: listen to a short sentence, type what you hear, and see exactly where your answer differs. Here’s what you can try: • Dictations from A1 to C1, with sentence-by-sentence playback • Instant feedback on spelling, missing words and extra words • A level test to help you find a starting point • Printable worksheets with answer keys and matching audio for teachers Practice is free, and you can start without signing up. Create an account only if you want to save your progress. Try one short dictation and tell me: which words were hardest to catch, and what would make the feedback more useful? I’d love your honest feedback.
