Multiple buckets in Remotion Cloud Run

EXPERIMENTAL

Cloud Run is in Alpha, which means APIs may change in any version and documentation is not yet finished. See the changelog to stay up to date with breaking changes.

Remotion Cloud Run supports 1 bucket per region and project that you use Remotion Cloud Run in. It is not necessary to create multiple buckets because:

  • A Cloud Storage bucket is an effectively infinitely scalable storage solution.
  • Remotion will perfectly isolate each render so they do not interfere with another.
  • You can give sites a unique identifier to separate production and development environments.
  • The Remotion Cloud Run service is a binary that does not change with your codebase.

You might intuitively create multiple buckets because you have multiple environments, but it is usually not needed.

Deleting extraneous buckets

If you got an error message

You have multiple buckets [remotioncloudrun-1a2b3c4d, remotioncloudrun-howDidThisHappen] in your Cloud Storage region [us-east1] starting with "remotioncloudrun-".
You have multiple buckets [remotioncloudrun-1a2b3c4d, remotioncloudrun-howDidThisHappen] in your Cloud Storage region [us-east1] starting with "remotioncloudrun-".

delete the extraneous buckets in the GCP console to fix the error.
