Writing Cloud Functions
-
Overview
Overview of writing Cloud Functions.
-
HTTP Functions
Invoke Cloud Functions from standard HTTP requests.
-
Background Functions
Some Cloud Functions runtimes (Node.js, Python, Java, and Go) use background functions to handle events produced by your cloud infrastructure, such as messages in a Cloud Pub/Sub topic, or changes in a Google Cloud Storage bucket.
-
CloudEvent Functions
Other Cloud Functions runtimes (such as Ruby and .NET) use CloudEvent functions to handle events produced by your cloud infrastructure, such as messages in a Cloud Pub/Sub topic, or changes in a Google Cloud Storage bucket.

Deploying Cloud Functions
Calling Cloud Functions
-
Overview
Overview of calling Cloud Functions.
-
HTTP Triggers
Use HTTP methods to trigger Cloud Functions.
-
Cloud Pub/Sub Triggers
Asynchronously trigger Cloud Functions via a Pub/Sub topic.
-
Cloud Storage Triggers
Trigger Cloud Functions in response to change notifications from Google Cloud Storage.
-
Calling Cloud Functions Directly
Learn how to manually invoke a Cloud Function via the
gcloud
command line tool and Cloud Console. -
Cloud Firestore Triggers
Trigger Cloud Functions in response to Firestore events.
-
Google Analytics for Firebase Triggers
Trigger Cloud Functions in response to Google Analytics for Firebase events.
-
Firebase Realtime Database Triggers
Trigger Cloud Functions in response to Firebase Realtime Database events.
-
Firebase Authentication Triggers
Trigger Cloud Functions in response to Firebase authentication events.
-
Second-Party Triggers with Cloud Logging
Trigger Cloud Functions in response to events from Google Cloud Platform services that produce Cloud Logging audit logs.
-
Using Cloud Scheduler to Trigger a Cloud Function
Invoke a Cloud Function on a time-based schedule using Cloud Scheduler and a Cloud Pub/Sub trigger. This enables you to set up cron jobs which run periodically at specific time intervals.
Testing Cloud Functions
-
Testing Basics
Learn how to create unit, system, and integration testing with Cloud Functions.
-
Testing HTTP Functions
Learn how to test HTTP Cloud Functions. Cloud Functions can be either HTTP functions or event-driven functions.
-
Testing Event-Driven Functions
Learn how to test event-driven Cloud Functions. You use event-driven functions when you want to have your Cloud Function invoked indirectly in response to an event, such as a message on a Cloud Pub/Sub topic, a change in a Cloud Storage bucket, or a Firebase event.
-
CI/CD
Learn how to configure a continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD) pipeline to run Cloud Functions tests on an ongoing basis.
Cloud Functions Networking
Securing Cloud Functions
-
Managing Access via IAM
Learn about using IAM to provide identity-based access control on your functions. Manage a developer's ability to view, create, update and delete functions, and control whether authentication is required to invoke a function.
-
Authenticating developers, functions, and end-users
Learn how to authenticate callers to your functions.
-
Function Identity
Understand what identity your function runs as, how to configure this identity and change its permissions, and how to get identity and access tokens to securely call other functions or Cloud APIs.
-
Using VPC Service Controls
Learn how to use VPC Service Controls with Cloud Functions to add additional security to your functions and guard against data exfiltration.
Monitoring Cloud Functions
-
Overview
Overview of monitoring Cloud Functions.
-
Writing and Viewing Logs
Use logging with Cloud Functions.
-
Reporting Errors
Report errors from Cloud Functions.
-
Viewing Monitored Metrics
View Cloud Functions monitored metrics.
-
Using Cloud Audit Logging
Learn about the default and optional logs created by Cloud Functions as part of Cloud Audit Logging.
