How to access Cloud Run container?

Is there any way to log in to a Cloud Run container? One of the advantages a VM provides is you are able to log in the containers and debug. How can we do that with Cloud Run? E.g., common issues where we need to log in to a container are a new app unable to connect to database (example).

If a problem occurs in cloud run, you can check it through "Cloud Logging" (https://cloud.google.com/run/docs/logging).

It is not a good practice to access the container and check the logs when using the cloud. And if that's a serverless product, that's impossible.

I guess that's a disadvantage of going serverless. We can check logs but it takes 10x more time to debug and troubleshoot using that approach. we have to keep redeploying, pushing new images etc.
