For years, achieving true high-availability (HA) between Cloud Run services meant stitching together complex VPC peering or settling for slow DNS failover.

We can do better.

I just published Part 1 of my new series: "The Global Service Mesh.

In this guide, I break down how to use Cloud Service Mesh (formerly Traffic Director) and the new Service Routing APIs to build a system for your serverless infrastructure that spans the globe.

✅ The Architecture: Why native Serverless NEGs and INTERNAL_SELF_MANAGED backends are the key to client-side load balancing. ✅ The Resolution: How to configure Private DNS zones to map custom hostnames (like orders.mesh) to Mesh VIPs. ✅ The Managed Proxy: How to leverage Direct VPC Egress for zero-config mesh participation—no manual Envoy sidecars or complex bootstrap files required. ✅ The Logic: How to split traffic 90/10 across regions globally without touching a single line of application code.

If you are running mission-critical workloads on Serverless, this is the modern architecture you should be looking at.
