Verified User Anonymous Chose Google Cloud Functions It is easier to keep everything in house when we are using GCP or AWS. To mix Lambda with google cloud is not a best practice and will cause problems ahead. The segmentation is clear, if you are using google, you use Google Cloud Functions. if you are on Amazon, you use all AWS … Incentivized Helpful?

User Testimonials
	Google Cloud Functions
Likelihood to Recommend	It is easy to use, in 15 minutes you just have to follow a few steps, do some easy configurations and you have the project ready to run, once it is connected to the codebase, the execution is automatic. For anyone coming into the google environment, Functions make code execution easy and transparent. CI/CD is perfect Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	integration with oAuth integration with Firebase integration with React Frontend Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	Needing a zip file is problematic (when wanting to automate deployment for example). Requires another solution to execute automatically (ex. cloud scheduler). Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Usability	The console UI is pretty nasty. Managing various authentication/permissions configurations is just a nightmare. On the other hand, once you are over the hump it's not so bad. AWS Lambda is no better. Incentivized Roland Alden co-founder Read full review
Support Rating	Documentation is provided and clear for this service. Although GCP support is included in the current contract we didn't get to use it since the process is pretty straightforward. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	GCF and Lambda are basically 1:1 the same. Fairly high level of complexity and learning curve. Comparable "power". Retool Workflows are a different sort of beast that is architecturally similar to externalizing a bit of logic in a "cloud function" (Retool calls them "workflows"). Retool workflows have a graphical UI for constructing logic flows which you would either love or hate. The #1 difference is cost. Retool Workflows are fantastically expensive compared to GCP or AWS Lambda. Incentivized Roland Alden co-founder Read full review
Return on Investment	Using it for FinOps, we cut the bill in 2 for certain services (out of production). Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
