Google Cloud Functions Reviews & Product Details - Page 6

Best thing is we get space to upload the important files on Cloud and excess those anywhere and anytime without using the same PC Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has nothing to dislike. I tried finding anything which i can say that i dislike but there is nothing to dislike overall Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Event-Driven Functions: Function Triggers, like Storage Triggers, are crucial to automate the processing of data and files when events occur (Ex. file upload)

Relative Easy of Use and Deployment: Documentations, sample codes, and tutorials make it easy to get started quickly. We could build and ship in a matter of days.

Serverless: We liked the Ease and good cost performance of Serverless with Cloud Functions when building external APIs.

Firebase Functions: As a wrapper of Cloud Functions, Firebase Functions is a convenient backend of Firebase applications. It has the same API as Cloud Functions, and we found it very valuable for my Firebase projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Slow Cold Start: When we didn’t have sustainable traffic to our function, the function took longer to start and process the first request. However, we could work around this issue with special care and some code modifications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing about cloud functions is that one does not need to worry about the infrastructure. Just build and deploy. Everything else is taken care of automagically. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The problem of cold start is there. New functions take time to spawn and there is limited availability in the things you can change about the infra. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. Auto scales based on the requirements.

2. Easy to implement as they provide SDK for web, android, iOS.

3. Flutter Cloud Functions SDK is much easier to implement.

4. Supports Nodejs.

5. We can easily allocate resources such as CPU power and we can also test, view source file, e.t.c in dashboard itself which is excellent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. Expensive compared to other competitiors in terms of per invocation usage.

2. Sometimes, the server responds slowly due to "Cold Start."

3. Billing dashboard is confusing for beginners. It doesn't clearly explain the spending. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease of deployment, both with gcloud CLI or simply uploading a zip

The graphs provided by google cloud functions are not reliable sometimes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease of deployment and the fact that there's little to no managing of server involved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The limited functionality and the inability to control a lot of things about network control make it impractical to use google cloud functions on a large-scale project. Also, you cannot control on what VM your code can run, and in some cases, that can be a deal-breaker.

Moreover, since the google cloud platform manages all the server-related stuff, you end up paying more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In Data engineering, there are many jobs/tasks which are executed on a particular event. Cloud function helps to write simple logic to trigger any job on the event.

Flexibility to write code in Python, Node.js, Java/Scala and other languages.

I works fast and latency post event is very low. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The code editor in the cloud function is not great, and it does not provide helpful feedback at compile time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
