Code sample

Node.js

To authenticate to Cloud Run functions, set up Application Default Credentials. For more information, see Set up authentication for a local development environment.

// OK: await-ing a Promise before sending an HTTP response
await Promise.resolve();

// WRONG: HTTP functions should send an
// HTTP response instead of returning.
return Promise.resolve();

// HTTP functions should signal termination by returning an HTTP response.
// This should not be done until all background tasks are complete.
res.send(200);
res.end();

// WRONG: this may not execute since an
// HTTP response has already been sent.
return Promise.resolve();
