Google cloud run is a product of Google available on the Google Cloud Platform. It was first launched 13 years ago on April 7, 2008, by internet giant Google LLC.
Back then it was a major operation and announcement by google and it made major headlines. Since then, Google has been continuously developing it and adding new features making its way to giant companies, Tech firms and individual Computer engineers and Developers. In short, it is a service provided by Google on its cloud platform known as Google Cloud Platform (GCP) that allows users or clients to run pre-built or pre-coded applications by taking it over a Docker – Container image and running it in a stateless container as autoscaling HTTP service. In this way, the application and the data associated with it remain confined in a specific location and doesn’t interfere with other application or machines.
If you want to go into detail and know more about it, Google Cloud Run is a fully automated and manual manageable cloud computing service or platform that can automatically scale up the stateless containers present on your dedicated servers or google cloud storage. Here, the Google Cloud Run serverless stands only for – You only need to think and code your application on a computer, then deploy and then you can test it using Google Cloud Run for any miscoding, mistake, vulnerability or troubleshooting. You can also host the application on the Google Cloud Run and use it as per your need. Everything on the Google Cloud Run, Memory, Computer Processing Unit (CPU), Random Access memory (RAM), Read-only memory (ROM) and networking etc is automatically managed by Google Cloud Run (By default) or you can also set it to do manually, so there is no worry to spend your precious time and manage them on your own. Also, Because GCP’s Cloud Run uses a container, you don’t need to worry about your chosen programming language or coding being supported and running smoothly or handling dependencies. The Google cloud Run do its all instances and work in a container and just run so there are no chances of messing up with other programmes on your server. One can also get and view logs of applications by using google Cloud Run Console.
The Benefits of using Google Cloud Run are very long to cover in just one article but here is some of the best thing benefits you can avail yourself of using the Google Cloud Run.

Also, it can be easily and fully integrated with other Google Cloud Products for analysis and take insights, options, tools and services, for example, it can be integrated with Google Cloud Code, Google Cloud Build, Google Cloud Monitoring and, Google Cloud Logging. The integration gives also an end-to-end developer environment and experience.
Now, that we have talked enough about benefits, let’s talk about some of the best features it offers and uses for its clients and users along with pricing.

2. Per Instance Concurrency – The Google Cloud Run has an amazing capability to automatically scale up to 1000 concurrent requests on a single container instance, this provides it with a high level of efficiency, and bandwidth and thus increases user productivity and take less time.
3. HTTPS URLs – The Google Cloud Run service gets an out-of-box stable HTTPS endpoint connection, with a TLS terminal handling each for you, which means enhanced security to your server and data with containers. Attackers cannot steal your data.
