Introducing Cloud Run instances
Need a low-cost, high-performance way to run long-lived, stateful workloads such as AI agents? Today, we introduced Cloud Run instances, which let you do just that.
Consider AI agents such as OpenClaw or Hermes, which are intended for individual developers or personal use. Because these agents often work continuously and tend to serve only one user at a time, their infrastructure requirements look quite different from stateless, high-throughput web services that typically run on Cloud Run services.
Cloud Run services scale to zero when requests stop, so they aren’t ideal for a long-lived agent that expects exactly one copy to be running continuously. On the other hand, the alternative — running a dedicated VM — means paying for full compute 24/7, managing operating system updates, opening firewall ports, and provisioning your own HTTPS endpoints.
Cloud Run instances provide dedicated, singleton compute runtimes on Cloud Run. They have the following...
