Same here! We're fans of Cloud Run at my company, but it'd be great if they made it easier to pull messages from Pub/Sub using Cloud Run. Sometimes you just don't want push.

That’s interesting to hear. What problems did you have with push? Having used this setup before, I found it pretty easy and the only time I found myself reaching for pull (on a service deployed to K8s rather than cloud run) was to achieve greater throughput. Was it the same story for you?

Maybe I'm doing something wrong here, but one issue I've faced when integrating third-party external systems with Pub/Sub and Cloud Run is the lack of an easy way to throttle the data flow when the external system falls behind. It would be really helpful if the Cloud Run service could easier support pull from Pub/Sub instead, allowing it to consume messages at a pace the external system can handle.

I could of course do flow control myself in the Cloud Run service, but it'd be nice if I could just switch to pull.
