Is this the recommended way to utilize Node.js in GCP?

Hi!

We are planning to use the Google Cloud Platform for our development and are evaluating possible toolsets that we could use.

However, after having a look at the project, I noticed that it seems to have weird references all over the place.

Some examples:

• es2016 in https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/functions-framework-nodejs/blob/main/docs/typescript.md
• nodejs16 in https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/functions-framework-nodejs/blob/main/docs/typescript.md
• Node.js 10 runtime mentioned in the main README file

I'd like to understand if this project is the recommended one or if there is another way to build, test, and deploy Node.js functions in GCP.

Best regards,
Markus

Hi Markus, thank you for your question. Yes, Functions Framework is used in building and deploying Cloud Run functions. Please see the following guide to learn more about writing your a Node.js function on GCP: https://cloud.google.com/functions/docs/create-deploy-http-nodejs
