Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We currently use Cloud Functions to handle multiple use cases :

- Automate resources shutdown for out of production environments (for Google SQL & Google Kubernetes Engine)

- Recover socials data and informations for analysis

Pros

  • Easy to use and doesn't require a lot of cloud knowledge
  • UI/UX made simple and accessible

Cons

  • Needing a zip file is problematic (when wanting to automate deployment for example).
  • Requires another solution to execute automatically (ex. cloud scheduler).

Return on Investment

  • Using it for FinOps, we cut the bill in 2 for certain services (out of production).
