There is a change in retry policy for 1st gen functions that use Pub/Sub subscriptions. Newly created 1st gen functions with "retry on failure" enabled will now use exponential backoff, configured with a minimum backoff of 10 seconds and a maximum backoff of 600 seconds. This new policy replaces the old "retry immediately" policy. This policy is applied to new 1st gen functions the first time you deploy them. It is not retroactively applied to existing functions, even if you redeploy them. 2nd gen functions will continue to use an exponential backoff strategy. For details, see Retrying event-driven functions.

All 1st and 2nd gen Google Cloud Functions using the Node.js runtime now automatically run the npm run build command during deployment if they define an npm build script in their package.json file. This feature is rolling out over the next few days.

Important: If you prefer to prevent your build from running the npm run build script, you can either:

  • Add a gcp-build script with an empty value in your package.json file: "gcp-build":""

  • Set the environment variable GOOGLE_NODE_RUN_SCRIPTS to the empty string to prevent all scripts from running -- for example, by including the --set-build-env-vars=GOOGLE_NODE_RUN_SCRIPTS="" option with your gcloud functions deploy command.

For details about configuring package.json, see Node.js buildpack configuration. For details about setting environment variables see setting environment variables.

December 13, 2022

The cloudfunctions.googleapis.com/v2 API now supports reading 1st gen functions, using the get and list methods. Function responses contain an Environment field that differentiates between 1st and 2nd gen functions.

You can use the filter field to restrict the response to only 2nd gen functions, for example: filter=environment="GEN_2".

Note that 1st gen functions in europe-west5 can't be read from the v2 API as the region is not available yet in 2nd gen.

If you are using an older version of gcloud, the gcloud functions list command may show 1st gen functions twice. Updating to a newer version of gcloud should fix this.
