Wish you had a custom domain for all of your demos and AI prototypes? When you deploy your apps with Google Cloud Run, you can claim easy-to-remember, globally available subdomains at zero cost (no load balancers required) with zero DNS configuration.

With Cloud Run, it’s as easy as one command to turn your code into a live, shareable app without having to manage any infrastructure. With custom URLs, you can create memorable and shareable endpoints in seconds by claiming any available subdomain: my-cool-app.cloud.run.

You won’t have to worry about load balancer setup, DNS records, CNAME setups, or certificate renewals — Cloud Run automates SSL/TLS certificates and global routing for you.

Deploy your apps on Cloud Run with a custom URL today! Read the docs for more info on getting started.
