I liked Flightcontrol, found it more reliable and less finicky than Cloud Build + Cloud Run, but it was too expensive for me. They introduced a cheaper plan since I tried it, but it's missing the main feature that I actually think makes FC worth it (preview environments) I know not everyone wants to get in on the Vercel Cartel model of excessive free-tier generosity made up for by 1000% markups at scale... but $400/month is tough to swallow when you barely need $50/month of compute to handle your production workload.
