Deploy containerized applications with serverless execution
Intent & Description
Cloud Run is a fully managed serverless platform for deploying containerized applications.

Ideal for microservices, web applications, and event-driven workloads.
Real-world Use Case
Use when deploying containerized applications without managing infrastructure, for variable workloads, or when you want automatic scaling.
