Cloud Functions 2nd gen, Eventarc triggers, concurrency and secrets.
2nd Gen¶
gcloud functions deploy process-order \
--gen2 --runtime=nodejs20 --region=europe-west1 \
--trigger-topic=orders --memory=512MB \
--min-instances=1 --max-instances=100 --concurrency=10
2nd gen = Cloud Run under the hood → concurrent requests, longer timeout.
Eventarc Triggers¶
- Pub/Sub, Cloud Storage, Firestore, Audit Logs, HTTP
Concurrency model¶
Concurrency 10 + max 100 instances = 1000 parallel requests. More efficient than Lambda.
Summary¶
Cloud Functions 2nd gen = significant upgrade. For new projects, always use 2nd gen.
