Cloud Run
Build and deploy scalable containerized apps written in any language (including Go, Python, Java, Node.js, .NET, and Ruby) on a fully managed platform.
New customers get $300 in free credits to spend on Cloud Run. All customers get 2 million requests free per month, not charged against your credits.

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.

Use cases
Use cases
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.
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.
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.
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 from Google Cloud sources.
When a .csv file is created, an event is fired and delivered to a Cloud Run service. Data is then extracted, structured, and stored in a BigQuery table.
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.
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.

| Integrated logging and monitoring | Out-of-the-box integration with Cloud Monitoring, Cloud Logging, Cloud Trace, and Error Reporting to ensure the health of an application. |
| Process web traffic | Expose Cloud Run services publicly to receive web requests |
| Process asynchronous events | Set up triggers to receive events from Google services, SaaS, and your own apps using loosely coupled services that react to state changes. |
| Portability | Cloud Run accepts standard container images and is built on the Knative open-source project, enabling portability of your workloads across platforms. |
| HTTPS URLs | Each Cloud Run service gets an out-of-the-box stable HTTPS endpoint, with TLS termination handled for you. |
| Custom domains | Map your services to your own domains. |
| HTTP/2, WebSockets, and gRPC | Invoke and connect Cloud Run services with HTTP/1.*, HTTP/2, WebSockets, or gRPC (unary and streaming). |
