Cloud Run is Google Cloud's fully managed serverless compute platform that enables developers to run stateless containerized applications directly on top of Google's scalable infrastructure. It abstracts all underlying server management, automatically provisioning and de-provisioning container instances on demand.
Compared to Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) or container orchestration (GKE), Cloud Run eliminates the operational overhead of cluster and VM capacity planning while fulfilling the requirement of zero cost during idle periods.
