Serverless (original) (raw)
Break free from server constraints and focus on code. Our serverless computing allows you to easily deploy and run applications, functions, or events with automatic scaling and resource provisioning.

Features
Fully managed platform
Cloud Run is Google Cloud's serverless computing platform that manages your software and infrastructure, so you can focus on coding without managing servers, configuring software, or updating frameworks.
Scale to zero and minimum instances
Cloud Run automatically adjusts instances to manage incoming requests or high CPU usage. You can also use manual scaling for more control.
Pay-per-use pricing
Cloud Run charges you for CPU and memory allocated to an instance every 100ms. With scale to zero, you're only charged when your service is used.
Cloud Run functions
Create and deploy single-purpose functions that are attached to events emitted from your cloud infrastructure and services with Cloud Run functions.
How It Works
Deploy applications, functions, jobs, or containerized workloads without managing servers. Cloud Run automatically handles scaling, networking, and resource allocation based on incoming traffic or triggered events. Benefit from pay-per-use pricing and rapid development cycles by focusing solely on your code.
Common Uses
Websites and web applications

On-demand AI inference with GPUs
Tutorials, quickstarts, & labs
Power real-time inference
Use Cloud Run GPUs to power real-time inference with open source models such as Gemma 3, Llama 3.2, or custom fine-tuned models. Build chatbots, generate on-the-fly document summaries, and more—all while scaling to handle unpredictable traffic spikes. Or, with GPUs on Cloud Run functions your data scientist can run Python scripts and perform event-driven inference with limited knowledge of the underlying infrastructure.

Batch data processing
Tutorials, quickstarts, & labs
Run parallel jobs
Cloud Run jobs are ideal for running parallel data processing tasks that need to complete quickly due to latency concerns.

Gen AI apps and AI agents
Tutorials, quickstarts, & labs
Serving and orchestration
Request-response flow between the gen AI app and its users. Runs LangChain to orchestrate retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), prepare prompts, call inference endpoint, streams response.
