Google Cloud Run Takeover & Hackathon!
We teamed up with @GoogleCloud for a Cloud Run Hackathon October 14th!
To kick things off, we're celebrating on the leaderboard so you can meet the people behind Cloud Run.
They'll be checking out the launches, and hanging out on Product Hunt all week starting today to talk architecture, troubleshoot setups, and cheer you on as you prep for launch day.
How to enter on Oct 14:
Spin up your app on Google Cloud Run
Schedule your launch on Product Hunt for October 14
Prizes:
$500 in Google Cloud credits
1-on-1 chat with Cloud Run engineers
Big shoutouts across Google Cloud channels
Participants receive $50 in build credits while supplies last. You must schedule your launch for the Cloud Run Hackathon in order to be eligible to receive the credits.

$500.00 in Google Cloud credits? That ain't chump change.
@josh_bloom_mildly_professional it is for Google.
@josh_bloom_mildly_professional @chrismessina $50 just for participating isn't bad either.
great!!! you guys are making it interesting day by day!
Having the Google Cloud people hang out all week before launch day is smart. you can fix stuff while you still have time instead of finding out on the day...
@ben_wigham5 We're here to help! Feel free to drop any questions here for the Cloud Run team!
@gabe This is fantastic. It keeps the community engaged and excited. :)
Would it be possible for the design/dev team to add a light/dark mode toggle? I find the text difficult to read on pages with dark backgrounds, such as Vercel Days and the Cloud Run special homepage design.
The dark theme looks great, but the tagline font size is hard to read on an iMac desktop screen. I’ve been using the archive page to read the taglines instead.
Also, I am curious, does the homepage redesign affect the clicks? What does the analytics data say? :)
@rohanrecommends noted on the design! Will share the feedback with the team.
On the homepage design the biggest impact is shipping something fun or interesting! Cool products get more clicks :)
What qualifies as Google Run app? Do firebase deployed apps using Google Run services (such as 2nd gen functions) qualify?
@seflm Hi Marek! Thanks for the question! The app must be deployed directly to Cloud Run.
When rushing an agent-built service for a hackathon, a fix looked good because the test suite went green. Reverting the patch showed the test still passed. The agent had generated an assertion that was never testing the broken code in the first place.
