Google Cloud Functions Reviews & Product Details

How easily and quickly we can get the project up and running with minimal configuration Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Difficulty in managing code base and dependencies and a weak framework for handling HTTP requests Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease of deployment and development. Solid logging and alert capability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not really a downside but you must remember it is stateless and you must design accordingly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The time is given max 9 minutes; if you want to run a 15-minute load, we can't. Google is working on that feature. They haven't implemented a multiple trigger feature; if that were there, it would be nice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

NLP function and translation function is the best function I like Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Automation costs too much Google credit and time Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Simplicity of deployment, good number of choices in languages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is some spin-up time before the endpoints become highly responsive, and working with a stateless environment can be challenging to get used to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Suitable for near-real-time CPU-heavy jobs. Compute time pricing is cheaper than alternatives like AWS Lambda. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cold start duration is much more significant than alternatives like AWS Lambda. Not suitable when having constraints on response duration (such as when building a Slack App/Bot). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

No need to include dependency libraries into deployment artifact. CLI fully supported for all manipulations. Http, pubsub, storage triggers integration. Ease https IAM, using bearer token. Deploy supported using terraform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not as many integrations as AWS Lambda has. Explicit usage of express for node or Flask for python web frameworks, can be security issue. Pub-sub integration, has no automatic dead letter queuing mechanism. Time to deploy, takes up to 2 minutes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Google brand is reliable for better stability for the deployment of your apps. The apps which require heavy computation power run 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 data abstraction is very efficient in this. It runs on the same infrastructure that Google uses for its end users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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, it can be used to create wonders. You cannot modify the OS, rest all is fine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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.

Its very secure to save the files to the google cloud or u can say drive.The way that Google Cloud integrates with other Google products is a major plus. I can store backups with ease in my Drive folder. 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.
