Getting started with node.js on Google Cloud Functions - console & gcloud cli 

Thanks so much! I'm not a very good marketer I guess 🙂

thanks so much!

Thanks! They're not mutually exclusive, they can work well together.

I'm considering doing something like this with Puppeteer. I would have to refactor my project: github.com/andrewpolemeni/ScrapeMe. It works locally but when deployed I'm getting memory leaks in Heroku. I just find cloud functions a little odd though it's something I'd have to get used too. Although, AWS lambda functions are a little easier to use.

Just in case you're still playing with puppeteer + cloud functions: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-i8THvr03FaY.html

that's actually really useful. Do you still have the source around?

That sounds absolutely amazing! Have you ever done any blog post on that?

127.0.0.1 is the loopback address, it will always point to the computer/device you are requesting from. Using that address on a cloud function is probably not what you want, i'm assuming your db is running on your local machine? You need an externally accessible IP address for a cloud service to connect to.

Yeah, that's part of how it is architected.

@@jsoverson it was a struggle. We can execute a full automated pipeline by logging with: gcloud auth activate-service-account --key-file [Google_cloud_credentials_for_service_account_its_a_json] And then make the deploy of the functions gcloud functions deploy [function_name] --runtime [code_version] --trigger-http --project [google_project_name] --entry-point=[export_value]

Hey, in case you or anyone else runs through this issue again; google has changed the setting for cloud functions a little bit. Now when creating a new one, you have an authentication section where you have to check the option for allowing unauthenticated invocations. If you do that, you can trigger them through the browser normally

Were you able to resolve this? I ran into the same problem when using Firebase Cloud Functions, hosting with Firebase Hosting. Apparently Firebase Cloud Functions are the same as Google Cloud Functions. I'm trying to scrape using Puppeteer. In my function, I added this (as explained in the docs): (cloud.google.com/functions/docs/writing/http) res.set('Access-Control-Allow-Origin', '*'); When trying to scrape from an Angular app (it's actually hosted on Firebase, in the same location as where the Cloud Functions are), I get CORS errors in the web page console. So frustrating, and none of these RU-vid tutorials mention it.
