Google Cloud Run

Google Cloud Run is a fully managed serverless compute platform that automatically scales stateless containers. It allows developers to run containerized applications without managing the underlying infrastructure, handling scaling, networking, and provisioning. It supports any language, library, or binary and integrates with Google Cloud services like Cloud Build and Cloud Storage.

Also known as: Cloud Run, GCP Cloud Run, Google Cloud Run Service, GCR, CloudRun
🧊Why learn Google Cloud Run?

Developers should use Cloud Run when building microservices, APIs, or event-driven applications that require automatic scaling and minimal operational overhead. It's ideal for workloads with variable traffic patterns, as it scales to zero when idle to reduce costs, and is well-suited for modern cloud-native development using containers.
