You are planning to move your company's website and a specific asynchronous background job to...

The critical constraint for both the website and the background job is the requirement for autoscaling and no costs when not in use (scale to zero). Both workloads are suitable for containerization and HTTP invocation.

Cloud Run is the single best platform for both use cases under these constraints. It is serverless, fully managed, and natively supports scaling to zero when a containerized service is not receiving requests, making it the most cost-effective option for sporadic workloads.

The static website can run in a simple web server container on Cloud Run. The HTTP-triggered background job is a perfect fit for a Cloud Run service that runs, performs its work (invoice generation), and then scales down to zero.
