Serverless beyond functions

on YouTube ↗48m

" summary

Shows concrete comparisons: first‑gen functions (HTTP triggers, ~1–10 min, cold starts) versus containers via Cloud Run (up to 4 CPU/16 GB, adjustable timeouts, multiple paths) and second‑gen functions with 80 concurrency and minimal instances to reduce cold starts. Demonstrates EventArc triggering a workflows orchestration that chains four services (safety check, labeler, resizer, watermarker) to process and watermark images successfully, and a pattern where workflows create a VM to run long jobs (prime generator) then delete it. Tools, limits, and working examples are given.
