Cloud Run overview

Benefits

Container to production in seconds

Write code your way by deploying any container that listens for requests or events. Build applications in your favorite language, with your favorite dependencies and tools, and deploy them in seconds.

Fully managed

Cloud Run abstracts away all infrastructure management by automatically scaling up and down from zero almost instantaneously—depending on traffic. Cloud Run only charges you for the exact resources you use.

Enhanced developer experience

Cloud Run makes app development and deployment simpler and faster. And it’s fully integrated with Cloud Code, Cloud Build, Cloud Monitoring, and Cloud Logging for an enhanced end-to-end developer experience. Key features

Key features

Any language, any library, any binary

Use the programming language of your choice, any language or operating system libraries, or even bring your own binaries.

Leverage container workflows and standards

Containers have become a standard to package and deploy code and its dependencies. Cloud Run pairs great with the container ecosystem: Cloud Build, Cloud Code, Artifact Registry, and Docker.

Pay‐per‐use

Only pay when your code is running, billed to the nearest 100 milliseconds. View all features A reference architecture demonstrating the ML workflow.

Use cases

Use case Web services: Websites Build your website using a mature technology stack such as nginx, ExpressJS, and django, access your SQL database on Cloud SQL, and render dynamic HTML pages. Use case diagram for websites

Use case Web services: REST APIs backend Modern mobile apps commonly rely on RESTful backend APIs to provide current views of application data and separation for frontend and backend development teams. API services running on Cloud Run allow developers to persist data reliably on managed databases such as Cloud SQL or Firestore (NoSQL). Logging in to Cloud Run grants users access to app‐resource data stored in Cloud Databases. Use case diagram for REST APIs backend

Use case Web services: Back‐office administration Back‐office administration often requires documents, spreadsheets, and other custom integrations, and running a vendor‐supplied web application. Hosting the containerized internal web application on Cloud Run means it is always ready and you are only billed when it is used. Use case diagram for back-office administration

Google Cloud basics

How-to: Invoking with an HTTPS request

Send HTTPS requests from anything able to make HTTPS requests to trigger a Cloud Run-hosted service. Note that all Cloud Run services have a stable HTTPS URL. Learn more Google Cloud basics

Rollbacks, gradual rollouts, and traffic migration

Learn how to rollback to a previous revision, gradually roll out a revision, and split traffic between multiple revisions with Cloud Run. Learn more Google Cloud basics

Shared VPC Support

Any app, function and Cloud Run service connected to a Shared VPC network can access resources in any of the projects on the network as well as on-prem. Learn more Use case Data processing: Lightweight data transformation Build Cloud Run data processing applications that transform lightweight data as it arrives and store it as structured data. Transformations can be triggered with customized Cloud Tasks or Pub/Sub events from built‐in Google Cloud providers. When a .csv file is created, an event is fired and delivered via Pub/Sub to a Cloud Run service. Data is then extracted, structured, and stored in a BigQuery table. Use case diagram for lightweight data transmission

Use case Automation: Scheduled document generation Schedule a monthly job with Cloud Scheduler to generate invoices using a Cloud Run service. Because containers containing custom binaries can be deployed to Cloud Run, it is able to run in a PDF generation tool like LibreOffice in a serverless way, which means only paying when you are generating invoices. Use case diagram for scheduled document generation

Use case Automation: Business workflow with webhooks Connect your operations together with an event‐driven approach. Cloud Run scales on demand while implementing a webhook target, pushing events in the form of requests and only charging you when you receive and process the event. React to events from GitHub or Slack, or send webhooks when a purchase is made, a job is ready, or an alert is fired with a service that can react on a just‐in‐time basis to trigger a microservice in your infrastructure. Ex: A simplified, overall flow of data between an on-premises data warehouse like Teradata and BigQuery..
