Features
Any language, any library, any binary
You can write code using your favorite language, framework, and libraries, package it up as a container, run "gcloud run deploy," and your app will be live—provided with everything it needs to run in production. Building a container is completely optional. If you're using Go, Node.js, Python, Java, .NET Core, or Ruby, you can use the source-based deployment option that builds the container for you, using the best practices for the language you're using.
Fast autoscaling
Whether you own event-driven, long running services, or deploy containerized jobs to process data, Cloud Run automatically scales your containers up and down from zero—this means you only pay when your code is running.
GPUs
(Now in public preview) On-demand access to NVIDIA L4 GPUs for running AI inference workloads. GPU instances start in 5 seconds and scale to zero.
Cloud Run functions
(Now in public preview) Write and deploy functions directly with Cloud Run, giving you complete control over the underlying service configuration.
Automatically build container images from your source
Cloud Run can also automate how you get to production, using buildpacks to enable you to deploy directly from source—without having to install Docker on your machine. You can automate your builds and deploy your code whenever new commits are pushed to a given branch of a Git repository.
Run scheduled jobs to completion
Cloud Run jobs allow you to perform batch processing, with instances running in parallel. Execute run-to-completion jobs that do not respond to HTTP requests—all on a serverless platform. Let your jobs run for up to 24 hours.
Direct VPC connectivity
How It Works

BBC: Keeping up with a busy news day with an end-to-end serverless architecture
The BBC went from running 150-200 container instances to over 1,000 during a massive traffic spike. “And the infrastructure just worked.”

Can you deploy and host a website with Cloud Run?
With Cloud Run, you can manage and deploy your website without any of the overhead that you need for VM- or Kubernetes-based deployments. Not only is that a simpler approach from a management perspective, but it also gives you the ability to scale to zero when there are no requests coming to your website.

What's the difference between Cloud Run and App Engine?
Cloud Run is designed to improve upon the App Engine experience, incorporating many of the best features of both App Engine standard environment and App Engine flexible environment. Cloud Run services can handle the same workloads as App Engine services, including deploying and hosting websites, but Cloud Run offers customers much more flexibility in implementing these services.
