What do you like best about Google Cloud Functions?

The main advantage is its server less management. We don't need to manage the server just write code and deploy it. It is developer friendly.It will will charge when we use only. We can integrate with many of the cloud services. It can be secured and can connect to private vpc. We can restrict access to public network. We can trigger cloud function using http, cloud storage, pub/sub. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud Functions?

The time is given max 9 minutes if you want to run a 15 minutes load we cant. Google is working on that feature.They havent implement multiple trigger feature if that is there it would be nice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Google Cloud Functions?

The google brand is reliable for better stability for the deployment of your apps . The apps which require heavy computation power runs easily . you can build and scale faster with Google Cloud’s planet-scale computing on one of the world’s largest and fastest private networks so google is reliable and confidential ,

The dataabstraction is very efficient in this. It runs on same infrastructure that google uses for its end users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud Functions?

The only thing i dislike is the linux console is very tedious to understand and a bit laggy .

The git included in the Cloud is also complex.

But when learned can be used to create wonders.

you cannot modify the os .. rest all is fine Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Google Cloud Functions:

I would recomment this to every professional who need heavy computation power and alway uptime of services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I am using analytics and the computational power apps .

Its a userful service when you dont wanna use your own hardware to deploy the app .

i have never suffered any downtime ,

so its the best available option for me.

i wanted an AI tool , but my hardware was not that good to compute that , so i used Googel cloud to process it online , it definitely the best solution for online services

What do you like best about Google Cloud Functions?

The ease of access that I enjoy as a user of Google Cloud is why I choose to keep on coming back to this service. Maintenance shut outs have never happened to me, and the digital security Google has in place for moving my code in and out of the cloud is the best in the world.

The way that Google Cloud integrates with other Google products is a major plus. I can store backups with ease in my Drive folder. I can quickly discuss what I am working on with a client over Hangouts, and I like to run real time testing with a video chat window open.

Also, the price points are amazing. So many options for free use exist if you are new to the use of cloud services. Once you decide to scale up, the cost will be very reasonable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud Functions?

Some of the help guides are very intensive. There is a learning curve if you are new to coding and the use of the cloud. It helped me a lot to work with an actual person, a specialist that lives near me and was able to walk me through the use of certain features (mostly the third party API functions) that I was afraid of using the wrong way and causing issues with my clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Google Cloud Functions:

The free access point is great for trying it out, so commit a few hours to trying it out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I needed to address how I implement code in a way that would be affordable, reliable and practical. Google Cloud met all of these needs, so I am very satisfied with the service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing at all till now and i know google is always there for troubleshooting and It helped me a lot to work with an actual person, a specialist that lives near me and was able to walk me through the use of certain features (mostly the third party API functions) that I was afraid of using the wrong way and causing issues with my clients.

What do you like best about Google Cloud Functions?

I am in the free 30-day review period for Microsoft Cloud Function and it's great to be able to try out the program for free.

So far functionality is great. I'm connecting some APIs to my Wordpress page and it's very user-friendly for a mid-level techie like myself. I use Google suite for just about everything so there's a lot of potential here. I may try my hand at creating some apps now that I have this tool available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud Functions?

There's a lot here and it's going to take some time to get a grip on all of it. A built-in tutorial would be nice. I have not tried the help section yet. There are some things here that I've never seen before. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I anticipate being able to integrate data from all of my Google suite programs with features of my webpage and hopefully with Analytics as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Google Cloud Functions?

Good, simple integration with other GCP services and Google's DialogFlow voice platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud Functions?

Extremely poor cold start times on idle functions that made the service unusable for a DialogFlow-based voice platform production environment. DialogFlow itself mandates a 5 second timeout when calling a backend function and the cold start times on these Google Cloud Functions is often more than 5 seconds, meaning that Google DialogFlow will throw errors trying to call its own preferred and integrated FaaS solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Launching a voice-based user interface with DialogFlow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
