What I like most is how well it fits into our CI/CD workflow on GCP. We use it to build container images, push them to Artifact Registry, and then deploy to Cloud Run, all through automated triggers. Once the pipeline is set up, it’s very hands-off and reliable. The integration between Cloud Build, Artifact Registry, and Cloud Run is seamless, which makes the whole flow feel cohesive rather than stitched together. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Google Cloud Build? The YAML configuration can be a bit tricky to get right, especially when setting up more complex pipelines. Also, debugging failed builds isn’t always straightforward; you often have to go through logs step by step to figure out what broke. A bit more clarity in error messages or a more guided setup experience would help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Google Cloud Build solving and how is that benefiting you? It’s helping us fully automate our build and deployment process. Instead of manually building images and deploying services, everything is triggered automatically when changes are pushed. This ensures consistency across deployments and reduces the risk of human error. It also speeds things up significantly, so we can push updates to Cloud Run much faster and with more confidence.

Google Cloud Build allows us to flexibly develop continuous integration and delivery pipelines for our codebases. It's ease of use and direct integration with source code providers (Github in our case) and close integration with the rest of the GCP ecosystem makes it a vital and easy part of our cloud resource structure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Google Cloud Build? The Cloud Build YAML file is primarily operated for Cloud Build, meaning less interoperability between other services and greater lock in to the GCP ecosystem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Google Cloud Build solving and how is that benefiting you? Cloud Build allows us to build easy CI/CD integrations directly from Github to our cloud resources (Cloud Run, Kubernetes) through a relatively simple setup - sometimes created just with the interface like in the case of Cloud Run.
