Cloud events are things that happen in your cloud environment. These might be things like changes to data in a database, files added to a storage system, or a new virtual machine instance being created. Cloud Run functions are event-driven, they only run when something happens. This makes them a good choice for tasks that need to be done quickly or that don't need to be running all the time. For example, you can use a Cloud Run function to: automatically generate thumbnails for images that are uploaded to Cloud Storage. Send a notification to a user's phone when a new message is received in Pub/Sub. Process data from a Cloud Firestore database and generate a report. Task 1. Create a function Task 2.
