Google Cloud Run known issue: path ending with a z

Viewed 132

I was just doing some research into Google's Cloud Run service and happened to spot an issue where it says:

It is not possible to use the following URL paths:

Paths starting with /_ah/. Some paths ending with z

Does that mean if my app happens to make a URL that ends with a z, like /z or /xyz, it will break?! That can't be right, surely. Does anyone using Cloud Run know anything about this?

There are a few very specific top-level paths that Cloud Run reserves which all end in z. If your application with a specific path that ends in z is producing 404s for that path, it might be due to this.

Usually a path selected by the user doesn't conflict with this. The /z and /xyz paths are not reserved, for example.
