Google Cloud Run instances run long-lived agents for $5.70/month
IanAndrewsDC · x · 2026-08-28
Google Cloud launched Cloud Run instances, designed for long-running, stateful AI agents like OpenClaw and Hermes.
- Key Features: Dedicated singleton compute with no autoscaling; supports up to 7 days of continuous runtime; provides a stable HTTPS URL; allows stop/resume functionality.
- Cost: Significantly cheaper than 24/7 VMs. Running 1 vCPU and 1 GiB memory continuously for 30 days costs $5.70.
- Use Case: Tailored for personal agents that do not require intensive compute continuously, offering a predictable low-price model.
