From vibe-coded and large-scale apps to AI models and agents, Cloud Run delivers on-demand compute with zero overhead and pay-per-use pricing for all of your workloads. Last year, the number of external active developers and applications on Cloud Run doubled, with more new customers and apps coming to Cloud Run in 2025 than in its first 6 years combined!
Today, we’re announcing new features and improvements to Cloud Run to help you run your workloads:
Empowering the new era of developers
For decades, software development has had an inaccessible learning curve, but thanks to AI, anyone can be a digital builder. With Cloud Run, you can go from prototype to deployed app in seconds.
Build full-stack apps in Google AI Studio
AI Studio now supports full-stack applications that can run server-side code, a Firestore database, and user authentication. Deploy your vibe-coded apps with a single click to Cloud Run, now generally available.
Cloud Run’s fully managed remote MCP server
To make it even easier for developers or agents to deploy code, we are launching an official remote Cloud Run MCP (Model Context Protocol) server, giving you the tools to manage and deploy apps. Now GA.
Billing caps
Soon, you’ll be able to define your maximum spend per month. If your bill reaches this amount, your Cloud Run resources will be de-activated.
“Cloud Run has been one of the best technical choices we made in our deployments platform. It is our primary target, powering us to over 1 million live projects being hosted on Replit.” – Scott Kennedy, VP of Engineering, Replit
Embracing the agentic era
AI agents are just like people in that they need access to a compute environment to perform their tasks. For a cloud-based AI agent to take complex actions, it can use Cloud Run’s on-demand compute service.
Cloud Run integration with Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform
Through its integration with Cloud Run, Agent Platform helps agents transition from experimental environments into fully managed, production-grade systems without having to rebuild them. Now in preview with select customers.
Cloud Run instances
Traditionally, Cloud Run services, jobs, or worker pools have been opinionated ways to manage Cloud Run infrastructure. Now, we are giving you access to the underlying primitive: you can create individual Cloud Run instances. Coupled with Cloud Storage volume mounts, these instances are ideal for hosting long-running background agents like OpenClaw in one simple command:
