Google Cloud Functions Reviews & Insights

Everything is running on the Google Cloud and the Google Cloud Functions are the core of it. All our backend that was developed on node and runs on Google Cloud Functions integrated with Firebase. The integration is seamless and the performance is exceptional. The fact we have all our oAuth connected and user management can be done via panel makes it a no brainer.

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

We currently use Cloud Functions to handle multiple use cases :
- Automate resources shutdown for out of production environments (for Google SQL & Google Kubernetes Engine)
- Recover socials data and informations for analysis

Google Cloud Platform Cloud functions are an excellent way to start a serverless journey in GCP, however, using Cloud Run may be the better solution. For users not acquainted with Docker & Linux, I would definitely recommend Google Cloud Functions, however, for more experienced users, Cloud Run may be better suited.
