Google Cloud Functions represents a paradigm shift in how we think about compute infrastructure. After deploying hundreds of serverless functions across production environments, I’ve come to appreciate both the elegance and the hidden complexities of this platform. This guide shares practical insights from building event-driven systems that process millions of events daily, covering everything…

After deploying hundreds of serverless applications across Google Cloud Platform over the past decade, I’ve developed strong opinions about when to use each of GCP’s serverless compute options. The choice between Cloud Run, Cloud Functions, and App Engine isn’t always obvious, and making the wrong decision can lead to unnecessary complexity, higher costs, or operational headaches. Let me share…

If you need a way to compress your Cloud Storage Files/Folders, you can achieve this by using Cloud Functions and the Cloud Storage API.

In this example I'm using the python API.

You only have to create a Cloud Function, paste the code snippet available at github/gists. And add the library to the requirements.txt file.

google-cloud-storage == 2.1.0

Then you can call the API by making an HTTPS call with a JSON Payload that includes the following information.

{

"bucket_name": {replace-with-your-bucket},

"folder":{replace-with-the-folder-name-to-compress}

}

A weather forecast written in Go ready to deploy on google cloud functions.

git clone [email protected]:rfiestas/forecast.git

Resources

Apixu, free, fast, simple and fully managed JSON and XML Weather API and Geo Developer API

weather-icons, Weather Icons is the only icon font and CSS with 222 weather themed icons, ready to be dropped right into Bootstrap, or any project that needs high quality weather, maritime, and meteorological based icons!

Google Cloud Functions, Serverless application backends. Trigger your code from GCP services or call it directly from any web, mobile, or backend application.

Cloud Functions

Create a Apixu account, free plan offers 10.000 API calls per month. Get the API Key

Log on Google cloud functions console,then create a project and 2 cloud functions.

Name Runtime Memory allocated Executed function Environment variables index Go 1.11 128 MB ForecastAPIV1 forecast Go 1.11 128 MB GetIndex apixu_key = YOUR KEY

You can upload the go code to each cloud function or you can attach to a Google source cloud repository.

Also you can create cloud functions using gcloud sdk command line.

gcloud functions deploy index --entry-point "GetIndex" --runtime go111 --trigger-http --memory 128 gcloud functions deploy forecast --entry-point "ForecastAPIV1" --runtime go111 --trigger-http --memory 128 --set-env-vars "apixu_key=**YOUR KEY**"
