If you have ever wanted to ship an AI-powered application without managing GPUs, model servers, or scaling infrastructure yourself, this guide is for you. Managed inference simply means letting a cloud provider run the AI model for you: you send a request, the platform handles the compute, and you get a response back. On Google Cloud, the cleanest way to do this today is to pair the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform (formerly Vertex AI) with Google Cloud Run , dividing responsibilities between the two services. The Agent Platform serves as the orchestration and intelligence engine, while Cloud Run hosts your custom application logic, front-end UIs, or Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. By the end of this article, you will be able to: Explain the hybrid architecture and why each layer exists Define an AI agent in code using the Agent Development Kit (ADK) Deploy your app layer to Cloud Run with a single command Choose between online and batch inference for your workload Secure and monitor the whole setup in production New to the underlying concept? Start with Google Cloud's primer: What is AI inference? Prerequisites To follow along hands-on, you will need: A Google Cloud project with billing enabled The gcloud CLI installed and authenticated Python 3.10+ and the ADK installed ( pip install google-adk ) You can also read this purely as an architecture walkthrough; every step is explained, not just shown. 1. The Architectural Blueprint This pattern splits your system into independent, auto-scaling tiers: [ Client / Web UI ] ──> [ Cloud Run Service ] (App Logic / Tool Front End) │ ▼ [ Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform — Agent Runtime ] (Orchestration, Intent Analysis, Memory) │ ▼ [ Managed Inference / Model Garden ] (Gemini 3.x Pro / Flash models) Why split it this way? Each tier scales independently and fails independently. Your web front end can handle a traffic spike without touching the model layer, and you can swap models without redeploying your application code
