GCP offers several serverless compute options that let you run code without managing infrastructure. This lesson covers Cloud Functions for event-driven functions and Cloud Run for containerised applications.
Serverless means you don't manage servers. GCP handles provisioning, scaling, patching, and availability. You focus on your code and pay only for what you use.
| Service | Unit of Deployment | Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| Cloud Functions | A single function | Event-driven, lightweight operations |
| Cloud Run | A container image | Any HTTP service, APIs, microservices |
| App Engine | An application | Web applications, full app lifecycle |
Cloud Functions is GCP's Functions-as-a-Service (FaaS) offering. Write a single-purpose function, deploy it, and GCP runs it in response to events.
