Google Cloud Functions vs. Oracle Application Container Cloud (discontinued)

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

For how it is used within the organization it is perfectly fine. We use it for benefits, salary, and vacation tracking. It does make it easy to find your information within the system and make changes.

• Needing a zip file is problematic (when wanting to automate deployment for example).
• Requires another solution to execute automatically (ex. cloud scheduler).

• Fewer tabs.
• More direct access to information.
• More insight into where approvals are within the system.

I am not a part of the team that would make this decision but as far as I know they are happy with the platform and how it performs.

Overall Google Cloud Functions is losing a lot of benefits to other GCP services, making it less attractive to users. A simple example would be the need to zip application files and push them to Google Storage which makes it a bit complicated to automate via a CI/CD pipeline. Another "similar" solution would be using Cloud Run although the need for a docker image is there, with the recent evolutions to Cloud Run (ability to downscale to 0) it makes a lot more interesting.

Incredibly easy to use and learn how to use. The interface is extremely easy to use.

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.

The team who helps with the issue is very helpful when resolving the issue and usually can handle it in a very timely manner.

The system is very easy to use.

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 tools. You can't mix them. The price is set.
