GCP Cloud Run Free Tier Doubled — 2M Requests Free, Up From 1M per Month
GCP doubled Cloud Run free tier: 2M requests free (was 1M), 360K vCPU-seconds free (was 180K), 180K GB-seconds free (was 90K). Always-free, no expiry. Ideal for side projects, staging environments and low-traffic microservices.
TCOIQ: For low-traffic internal services and staging environments, Cloud Run is now essentially free for under 2M requests/month. Compare: AWS Lambda free tier (1M requests/month) and Azure Container Apps (2M requests/month free). GCP now matches Azure for serverless free tier generosity.
💰 TCOIQ Cost Impact
2M requests/month free — low-traffic services and staging environments cost $0/month; saves ~$15-40/month vs previous paid tier
