Google Cloud Functions

 

• A pay-as-you-go function as a service (FaaS) to run your code with zero server management.

Features

• There is no need to provision, manage, or upgrade servers.
• Cloud Functions can be written using:
  • Node.js
  • Python 3
  • Go
  • Java
• Automatically scales based on load without thinking about the infrastructure.
• Built-in security at role and per function level based on the least privilege principle.
• Allows you to trigger your code from Google Cloud, Firebase, and Google Assistant or call it directly from any web, mobile, or backend application via HTTP.
• To act on events, you shall define a trigger. Binding a function to a trigger enables you to act on events. The most common triggers are:
  • Google Cloud Storage
  • Supported HTTP request types like: POST, PUT, GET, DELETE, and OPTIONS.
  • Pub/Sub

Pricing

• Cloud Functions is priced according to:
  • how long your function runs
  • how many times it is invoked
  • how many resources you provision for the function
