Just had issues with response times for a Google Cloud functions and realized that they do a cold start when not frequently used.

Good post on that by Beranger Natanelic on this topic

#CloudFunctions #GoogleCloud

To accompany this, I have summarized a few of my thoughts in a short series of articles:

First up some steps on how to get started with a @firebase project, #Firestore DB and #Firebase #CloudFunctions

Some time ago my favourite Uptime Monitoring service changed its pricing structure and @SlackHQ integrations are not longer part of the free plan. Since I have been using Slack notifications almost exclusively, I had to look for an alternative...

... or build one myself

The result is the #UptimeSlackbot, based on @Firebase #CloudFunctions. All code is of course #OpenSource and available on #GitHub:

3/💡 #GCP provides scalable and flexible services.

The best thing about them? Many GCP products have an "Always Free" tier that never expires, allowing you to use them without charge within usage quotas.

Some examples are #CloudStorage, #BigQuery or #CloudFunctions.

Yesterday OOMF unfollowed me for suggesting that the #devEx of #cloudFunctions is better than running your own server. So I suppose I'm a #serverless shill now. Follow me! #AWS #awsLambda #cloud

I often prefer Cloud Run as it's docker containered 🐳

Cloud Functions vs Cloud Run when to choose one over the other

#googlecloud #cloudrun #cloudfunctions

Looking for a good resource of using (Google) #cloudfunctions at scale. I can see how you would use it for async flows with pubsub. For HTTP REST APIs though, particularly the authorization/ authentication in combination with an API gateway seems very complex, to a point where I really start wondering it's even intended for HTTP REST at all.
