**What is Cloud Run?**\
\
**Cloud Run** is a fully managed serverless compute platform on Google Cloud that allows you to run containerized applications in a scalable and cost-efficient way. You deploy your containers, and Cloud Run automatically handles scaling, load balancing, and infrastructure management. It provides pay-as-you-go pricing, scaling from zero to hundreds or thousands of instances based on demand, and supports both HTTP-triggered and background processing tasks.
