This page lays out a list of criteria to help you determine if your app is well-suited to be a Cloud Run service.
Criteria
In order to be a good fit as a Cloud Run service, your app needs to meet all of the following criteria. See the Cloud Run container contract for more information.
- Serves requests, streams, or events delivered using HTTP, HTTP/2, WebSockets, or gRPC, or executes to completion.
- Does not require a local persistent file system, but either a local ephemeral file system or a network file system.
- Is built to handle multiple instances of the app running simultaneously.
- Does not require more than 8 CPU and 32 GiB of memory per instance.
If your app meets those criteria, then it's good fit for Cloud Run! To get started, try one of the Cloud Run quickstarts.
If your app doesn't meet all of the criteria, you might want to check out Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) as a hosting option. For a comparison of Cloud Run and Google Kubernetes Engine, see the comparison guide.
