What do you like best about Google Cloud Functions?

I like the on demand availability and scalability of cloud function, where whenever certain event occurs it willl trigger the cloud function and it will create a container at backend to handle and process this request after fulfiling the request it will again destroy the machine and thus we are able to save our cost, we use cloud function in our custom ETL pipelline where whenever events like uploads in cloud storage bucket , pub/sub data produced then it will trigger the cloud function to process the data and store it in bigquery or in cloud storage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud Functions?

In cloud functions for now i face problem in managing code , as all the code is need to be written in only one file. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Google Cloud Functions solving and how is that benefiting you?

In my last project i have used cloud function 2nd generation with a configuration of 2 core CPU and 4 GB RAM for my cloud storage to Neo4j Graph Data Science pipeline, I have created 2 cloud functions based on 2 different events. first event trigger when user uploads csv data to cloud storage and another event triggers when transformed csv gets uploaded as part of ETL pipeline, this eventually helps in seamless data migration from one source to another source.

What problems is Google Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

GCP's Vertex AI helped me to build Generative AI based solution easily, as part of development i just had to consume their API from langchain library and rest of the care is taken by gcp. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Google Cloud Functions?

Seamless integration with other Google Cloud services, the scalability that allows for efficient handling of varying workloads, and the ease of deployment and management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud Functions?

One drawback I can recall is the cold start latency. I have faced in my project, when a function is invoked after a period of inactivity, it can experience a delay due to the time it takes to initialize. And it have caused issue and have impacted the responsiveness of real-time applications. Additionally, the lack of support for certain programming languages might be a limitation for developers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Google Cloud Functions solving and how is that benefiting you?

Google Cloud Functions addresses the need for serverless computing, allowing developers to focus on writing code without managing infrastructure.

We use in our automation framework, this proves beneficial by enabling dynamic method invocation. We create functions that trigger in response to specific events, such as changes in the Firestore database, providing a serverless and event-driven architecture.

This promotes scalability, reduces operational overhead, and ensures that our automation remains responsive to changes in the Firestore data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
