GCP for DevOps — Serverless
Serverless
GCP’s serverless platform lets you run code without managing servers. Cloud Functions for event-driven functions, Cloud Run for containerized apps, API Gateway for managed APIs, Firestore for NoSQL data, and Eventarc + Workflows for event-driven orchestration.
