🚀 Today at #GoogleNext19, we are launching Cloud Run.
Allowing you to run any stateless http container in a fully managed environment, paying only for the exact resources you use. 📦☁️
👉 cloud.google.com/run
😕 Developers love serverless, but feel limited by the available programming languages or the need to rewrite using functions.
👉 Cloud Run brings the properties of serverless to containers: no infra management, fast autoscaling and pay per use.
Sometimes, you want more control or have to run on top of Kubernetes, we are also introducing Cloud Run on GKE. Allowing you to run the same serverless workloads with the same developer experience, in your own GKE cluster. cloud.google.com/run/docs/quick…
🙏 to the thousands alpha and beta testers who have been using Cloud Run in the past months, providing feedback and reporting issues. You helped us shape Cloud Run!
Cloud Run and Cloud Run on GKE both implement the @KnativeProject API. An OSS project we introduced last year.
This allows you to deploy the same autoscaled services to a fully managed GCP environment, to your own GKE cluster, or anywhere #Kubernetes runs with #Knative.
😎I started a collection of awesome Cloud Run related things (articles, docs, containers, tools): github.com/steren/awesome…
Feel free to send suggestions via Pull Requests.
🌍 Cloud Run integrates with @Firebase Hosting.
This allows you to create webapps with dynamic endpoints using Cloud Run. All of this behind a global CDN out of the box: firebase.google.com/docs/hosting/c…
@Firebase Very excited to partner with @stackblitz for this amazing in browser developer experience: 1. Start by picking your stack 2. Get a GitHub repo and the prod app on Cloud Run 3. Iterate on the code using an in-browser VS Code-like editor
@Firebase@stackblitz@datadog If you encounter issues or have questions about Cloud Run, please post on @StackOverflow with the tag `google-cloud-run`. Many googlers and myself are monitoring this tag and will be happy to help you
Did you know that you can set up Continuous Deployment of your git repository to Cloud Run using Cloud Build?
Docs at 👉 cloud.google.com/run/docs/conti…
@Firebase@stackblitz@datadog@StackOverflow Cloud Run now has direct support for Cloud SQL (in alpha). When enabled, we activate and configure the Cloud SQL proxy for you.
@Firebase@stackblitz@datadog@StackOverflow@gabidavila One month after the launch of Cloud Run, we are pleased to launch several new features to address your top requests:
🧮Cloud SQL support,
📈Metric at a glance,
🌍Europe and 🌏Asia regions opening soon.
@Firebase@stackblitz@datadog@StackOverflow@gabidavila As promised, Cloud Run (cloud.run) is now available in 🌍Europe and 🌏Asia.
You can now picked from these 4 GCP regions:
- asia-northeast1 (Tokyo)
- europe-west1 (Belgium)
- us-central1 (Iowa)
- us-east1 (South Carolina)
This new API is an implementation of the recently released Knative Serving v1 API.
"v1" means that you can expect stability and long term support. One step closer to general availability!
@Firebase@stackblitz@datadog@StackOverflow@gabidavila 📊 Many of you wanted to better understand how much Cloud Run scales and how many instances are scheduled. We added a new chart to the Metrics tab that should answer this question.
E.g. if ou see "2s/s", that means 2 instances were continuously serving traffic in this second.
@glaforge If storing config as code or implementing GitOps is your thing, you will be glad to hear that you can now deploy to cloud.run from a local YAML file:
🌍🌎🌏 Cloud Run is now available in these 5 GCP regions: North Virginia, Oregon, Netherlands, Finland, and Taiwan
🔵🟢 Cloud Run now has support for rollbacks, gradual rollouts (blue/green deployments), and other traffic migration manipulations between Cloud Run Revisions.
Use the Cloud Console or `gcloud run services update-traffic`. More at cloud.google.com/run/docs/rollo…
🏗️The cloud.run user interface now displays link to the build information of the deployed container, as well as the repo and commit used to build it (if you are using a Cloud Build Trigger)
🖧 Your Cloud Run services can now connect to VPC networks, for example to access Memorystore Redis and Memcached.
Use it now: 1. Create a Serverless VPC Access connector: cloud.google.com/vpc/docs/confi… 2. `$ gcloud alpha run services update SERVICE --vpc-connector CONNECTOR`
🏗️ @GCPcloud has released a set of Buildpacks to help you build containers in Go, Node.js, Python, Java and .Net without having to maintain any Dockerfile.
The resulting containers are optimized for production and for the Cloud Run environment. github.com/GoogleCloudPla…
📝Cloud Run is now supported in Cloud Code for both @code and @intellijidea.

📋The Cloud Run user interface now allows you to copy a Cloud Run service.
Handy if you want to change your platform or move to a different region.
✏️ The user interface now also allows you to directly edit the service YAML
Handy if you prefer to edit raw config files instead of clicking the nice buttons we designed for you :)
🗺️Cloud Run is now available in Osaka, Sydney and Montréal!
You can now use Cloud CDN on top of Cloud Run.
By sending the right `Cache-Control` headers, you can drastically reduce the load on your Cloud Run service.
🌎🌍🌏Expose a global endpoint that routes requests to the closest Cloud Run service by using a HTTPS Global Load Balancer. cloud.google.com/load-balancing…
📄🚀 Set up Continuous Deployment from git to Cloud Run in just a few click in the Cloud Run UI.
This flow is powered by a Cloud Build trigger that automatically builds and deploys when new changes are pushed to your repo. cloud.google.com/run/docs/conti…
Cloud Run can now connect to Shared VPCs.
Allowing you to connect to private IPs of resources from other GCP projects of the same organization.

🌏 Cloud Run is now available in Singapore (asia-southeast1)
🔵🟢 You can now reach a specific Cloud Run revision by "tagging" it, it is then available at a dedicate URL https://[tag]---[servie-url].a.run.app
This completes the gradual rollout story.

🔒Data Residency: We made it clearer that when you create a Cloud Run service in a region, your data and container stay in that region. cloud.google.com/terms/data-res…
📄📦 When setting up Continuous Deployment from the Cloud Run user interface, you can now select a repository that contains Go, Node.js, Python Java or .NET Core code. It will be built using Google Cloud Buildpacks without needing a Dockerfile (github.com/GoogleCloudPla…)
📈 You can now pick up to 4GiB of RAM for your Cloud Run services.
⛩️ Introducing Google Cloud API Gateway. A fully managed gateway for your Cloud Run services.
📺 Cloud Run now supports server-side HTTP and gRPC streaming.
This means HTTP responses are not limited to 32MB anymore if you use chunked transfer-encoding.
🕒 From 15min to 1h!
Your Cloud Run service can now take up to 3600 seconds to return a request.
💻💻💻💻 You can now allocate 4 vCPUs to your Cloud Run container instances.
🛑 Cloud Run now sends a SIGTERM signal before a container instance is shut down. If handled, CPU is allocated for 10s max
This allows for graceful instance termination, giving your code some time to close any database connection or send some last telemetry data.
🌐 Static outbound IP:
You can now route all outbound requests to your VPC network, allowing you to configure a static outbound IP address via Cloud NAT.
Check out @ahmetb's tutorial: cloud.google.com/run/docs/confi…
❄️🔥 Goodbye cold starts: You can now specify a minimum number of container instances to be kept warm and ready to serve requests.
When they are not serving requests, CPU is 10x cheaper than normal. cloud.google.com/run/docs/confi…
🗺 Bringing Cloud Run to even more GCP regions: Hong Kong, Seoul, Jakarta, Mumbai, London, Frankfurt, Zurich, Sao Paulo. 21 regions and counting...
Did you know you can purchase domain names right from the GCP console with Cloud Domains?
The Cloud Run user interface now lets you to do that in context:
Cloud Run now integrates out of the box with Cloud Trace, capturing request latencies, allowing you to identify latency issue easily with its trace graph:
To help us shape the future of Cloud Run, participate in our research studies: g.co/userresearch/x…
⛗ Each Cloud Run container instance is now able to receive up to 250 concurrent requests (default is still 80).
🔎 We published a tutorial showing how to use Cloud Run revision URLs to implement previews of GitHub pull requests: cloud.google.com/run/docs/tutor…
📄 To simplify getting started with Cloud Run, we added a single command to build and deploy your source code:
$ gcloud beta run deploy --source .
- If a Dockerfile is present, it's used
- If not, language is automatically detected with GCP Buildpacks
📈 You can now pick up to 8GiB of RAM for your Cloud Run services.
📶Cloud Run now allows to restrict ingress of your services to "internal traffic" and "internal traffic and traffic from Cloud Load Balancing".
Basically disabling the default endpoint, making the service "private" from a networking perspective. cloud.google.com/run/docs/secur…

It’s even compatible with the Google Gen AI SDK.
⚡ Google Cloud data centers need electricity.
💨 Consuming electricity emits more or less carbon dioxide, depending on how and when the electricity was produced.
📈 High carbon dioxide emissions are responsible for climate change.
📊 Thanks to our partner @tmrowco, we computed and published for most @googlecloud regions:
- The average percentage of carbon free energy consumed on an hourly basis (Google CFE%)
- The average grid carbon intensity from the grid (gCO2eq/kWh). cloud.google.com/sustainability…
After creating an account quickly. I land in a nice console.
I am asked to create a "namespace", I guess it's a way to isolate resources. I like the term.
It seems like there is only one region to select: 🇫🇷🥖Paris.
I can then create either a function or a container.
Yay! using "serverless" with "container" is not a heresy anymore!
