Can i call cloud run and pass it an argument?

I know that cloud run will call a docker run command. What i want to do is call cloud run (docker run) and pass it an argument (image/video). My scenario is make a cloud run call from a flutter app, and pass an argument containing an image/video that the docker run will perform an analysis on. So ideally it would be something like

docker run analysis.py mediafile.jpeg

where analysis.py is the entrypoint and mediafile.jpeg is the argument.

Currently, I do not know how to create the cloud run function that can take an argument like described above. If anyone knows, please explain how.

Would a better alternative be to upload the media file to a database (firebase), then just call cloud run on the file in the database?

Any other suggestions welcome, thanks

For this use case, I would recommend you to split your design in 2 parts :

  1. First upload your media in Google Cloud Storage (or Firebase Cloud Storage)
  2. Then, execute on Cloud Run or Firebase Cloud Function the job which will treat your media.

It's a good practice. Your design will be scalable, and keep simple to maintain.

Note that a Firebase Cloud Function can be triggered after a new file is uploaded on Cloud Storage.
