In an effort to share knowledge by writing daily articles in our 12 different advent calendars at https://bekk.christmas I contributed with this article in https://thecloud.christmas. It's just a short introduction to Cloud Run, how it compares to alternatives such as FaaS and Kubernetes, and some info on how to build and deploy to Cloud Run. If you want to learn more about Cloud Run there are several links to both the Cloud Run announcement blog posts from Google and the official documentation. Hope it can inspire someone to check it out for their serverless journey. I have been using it for a while for smaller services that integrate with both Cloud Datastore and Cloud Pub/Sub, and I think it works really well :)
