How did you use Cloud Run for this launch?

Maker

We used Google Cloud Run (via Firebase App Hosting) as the serverless compute engine powering our Next.js 15 (App Router) production deployment: 1. Zero-Downtime Serverless SSR: Cloud Run serves our server-rendered pages, dynamic API route handlers (like `/api/search` and newsletter signups), and Sanity webhook revalidations in `us-central1`. 2. Launch-Day Auto-Scaling & Concurrency: We configured each container with 80 concurrent connections, scaling from `minInstances: 0` (zero idle costs) up to auto-scaling container replicas to handle Product Hunt launch traffic spikes effortlessly without breaking a sweat. 3. Hybrid Edge Caching: Cloud Run handles dynamic origin compute, while Cloudflare CDN and Google Cloud Edge cache static assets and headless CMS responses to maintain sub-second global response times and 100 Core Web Vitals. 4. Git-Driven CI/CD: Pushing to GitHub triggers automated container builds that roll out new revisions on Cloud Run with zero downtime

Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Tarun, maker of HostPartyPlay. Like many of you, whenever I volunteered to host friends, family, or colleagues, I ran into the same two high-stress hurdles: 1. 🍕 The Catering Math Panic: "How many pizzas, drinks, or tacos do I actually need for 35 people?" (Leading to clumsy spreadsheets or overspending hundreds of dollars). 2. 🎲 The Entertainment Lull: "How do I get guests laughing and engaged without forcing them to download clunky apps or reading 10-page board game manuals?" Traditional party websites are bogged down with invasive pop-ups, slow video ads, and outdated listicles. So we built HostPartyPlay — a lightning-fast, ad-light digital party command center designed to eliminate host anxiety: ✨ What's Inside: - 🧮 Interactive Headcount Calculators: Precision portion math for Pizza, Alcohol & Drinks, Taco Bars, Wings, BBQ, and Cake, tailored to appetites and group sizes. - 🎮 Instant Browser Games: Play Emoji Pictionary, holiday trivia packs, and 60-second challenges directly on mobile or desktop browsers with zero app installation. - 🧙‍♂️ Party Finder Wizard: A 3-step recommendation tool matching group size, vibe, and occasion with the exact games, food guides, and printables needed. - 📄 Free Downloadable PDF Printables: Host-ready printable kits, scavenger hunts, bingo sheets, and mystery games with zero paywalls. 🛠️ Tech Stack: Built for sub-second edge performance with Next.js (App Router), Tailwind CSS, Sanity.io, and Firebase Global Edge. Everything is 100% free with no login required. I'd love your honest feedback, favorite party game suggestions, or new calculator ideas! Cheers and happy hosting! 🥂
