Google Cloud serverless platform for running containerized applications. Like having a hosting service that automatically adjusts resources based on demand.
A web application runs on Cloud Run and automatically scales from zero to thousands of users without configuration.
Cloud Run is a fully managed serverless container platform that runs stateless HTTP services and jobs with automatic scaling (including scale-to-zero). Closest equivalents are AWS App Runner and Azure Container Apps (both managed container platforms with autoscaling). OCI Container Instances runs containers without managing servers but is closer to on-demand container execution and typically requires more networking/ops setup than Cloud Run’s serverless model.
