Google Cloud Functions is a serverless compute service on Google Cloud that runs code in response to events without provisioning servers. It supports automatic scaling, short-lived executions, and integrations with Cloud Pub/Sub, HTTP and Cloud Storage. Typical uses are event-driven APIs, lightweight data processing and glue logic in hosted cloud environment…

Technical building block: can be automated, integrated, or operated.
Concrete cog in the system that works inside larger relationships.
Google Cloud Functions runs individual functions as a managed, event-driven cloud service.
Google introduced Cloud Functions in 2016 so applications could react to events in Google Cloud and connected services with small code units. The approach responds to the need to keep server operations largely outside event-driven application code.
A trigger starts a function with input data. The platform provisions the runtime, scales instances, and stops them when idle; logs, permissions, and configuration connect the function to cloud resources.
HTTP requests or cloud events start a function.
Google manages instances, scaling, and supported runtime environments.
IAM, event data, and logs connect the function to other services.
Cloud Functions fits short reactions, integrations, and event-driven processes. Runtime limits, cold starts, statelessness, and unclear permissions shape architecture and operations.
