isn't this basically AWS Fargate?

It is close to Fargate. But on Fargate there's still a lot you have to manually control, like when to spawn up new instances, etc.

Cloud Run has this extremely simply concurrency model: You tell how many requests your app can handle concurrently and how many instances are allowed to run any given time.

* Do you mean that you could write a regular Flask/PHP app and it will automatically make it serverless? What about long running tasks that gets triggered by http? *

It's Docker based. So it doesn't really care. It just spawns up your docker file and expects your app to listen on $PORT.

https://aws.amazon.com/apprunner/ Is a bit closer

what if a process takes like an hour or two to finish, can apprunner handle this?

Often I find myself panicking because I can't finish a task in 15 minute limit, and so I end up spinning up Lightsail server to process long running tasks, which means I need to create SQS queue to manage pending jobs, and its a wheel I seem to reinvent constantly.
