You can work around "cold starts" by periodically making requests to your Cloud Run service which can help prevent the container instances from scaling to zero. Use Google Cloud Scheduler to make requests every few minutes. Does my application get multiple requests concurrently? Contrary to most serverless products, Cloud Run is able to send multiple requests to be handled simultaneously to your container instances. Each container instance on Cloud Run is (currently) allowed to handle up to 80 concurrent requests. This is also the default value. What if my application can’t handle concurrent requests? If your application cannot handle this number, you can configure this number while deploying your service in gcloud or Cloud Co
