AgileData.io - Infrastructure Upgrade: Dramatically Faster Deployments

Behind the scenes, we've made a massive infrastructure upgrade that significantly improves how quickly we can deliver new features and fixes to you.

**What Changed:**

* Migrated entire backend processing layer from Cloud Functions Gen1 to container-based Cloud Run architecture
* Implemented "build-once, deploy-many" pattern with Docker containers
* Deployment time reduced from 20+ minutes to approximately 2.5 minutes

**Technical Improvements:**

* Three optimized container images (main functions, Excel parser, JSON converter)
* Images stored in Artifact Registry with proper versioning
* Functions deploy using FUNCTION_TARGET environment variable for entry point specification
* Automatic cleanup of old revisions (keeping 5 most recent)

**What This Means for You:**

* **Faster Feature Delivery:** New capabilities reach you in a fraction of the time
* **Quicker Bug Fixes:** If issues arise, we can respond and deploy fixes much more rapidly
* **Improved Reliability:** Modern container architecture provides better stability and performance
* **Reduced Downtime:** Faster deployments mean shorter maintenance windows

This infrastructure modernization sets the foundation for even more rapid innovation in the months ahead.
