Google Cloud Run Gen2 scales containerized microservices on a full Linux kernel for faster starts and expanded system compatibility.

Gen2 replaces the original gVisor sandbox with a standard Linux environment: this cuts cold start times by up to 50% and enables native Network File System (NFS) support via Filestore. Each instance supports up to 32 GB of RAM and 8 vCPUs (ideal for memory-heavy tasks like machine learning inference or video transcoding with ffmpeg). It simplifies networking by providing direct VPC egress without the need for a connector. Use this environment when your stack requires high-performance disk access or specific system calls that Gen1 restricts.

### [Building Document Consciousness: How I Taught Gemini to Think in 6 Dimensions](https://san-diego.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_CuPjQckMXvM)

I'll demo Clasio, a document intelligence platform I built solo on a 100% Google Cloud stack, showing how I use Gemini 2.5 Flash (extensible to Gemini 3 in a few keystrokes) to extract what I call "6D Document Consciousness" - analyzing every uploaded document across What, Who, When, Where, Why, and How dimensions simultaneously. I received $25K in credits from Google Cloud for Startups for Clasio. The technical meat of the talk: - How I built an async AI queue that processes 25 documents in 75 seconds using 30 parallel Gemini workers on Cloud Run - The structured extraction prompt engineering that gets Gemini to reliably output 6D consciousness JSON (and what failed before it worked) - A 6-tier search waterfall that goes from exact consciousness match down to fuzzy vector similarity using pgvector on Cloud SQL - returning direct answers, not document lists - How I handle connection pool management when you have 30 concurrent Gemini API calls each taking 2-10 seconds (spoiler: release the DB connection before the API call, not after) - Live demo: upload a stack of immigration documents and watch the system classify, extract entities, detect deadlines, and answer natural language questions in real time This is a solo founder build - no team, no VC money, just a product person who learned TypeScript and shipped to production on GCP.
