Google Cloud Professional Cloud Developer — Question 244

Your team is developing a Cloud Function triggered by Cloud Storage events. You want to accelerate testing and development of your Cloud Function while following Google-recommended best practices. What should you do?

Answer options

• A. Create a new Cloud Function that is triggered when Cloud Audit Logs detects the cloudfunctions.functions.sourceCodeSet operation in the original Cloud Function. Send mock requests to the new function to evaluate the functionality.
• B. Make a copy of the Cloud Function, and rewrite the code to be HTTP-triggered. Edit and test the new version by triggering the HTTP endpoint. Send mock requests to the new function to evaluate the functionality.
• C. Install the Functions Frameworks library, and configure the Cloud Function on localhost. Make a copy of the function, and make edits to the new version. Test the new version using curl.
• D. Make a copy of the Cloud Function in the Google Cloud console. Use the Cloud console's in-line editor to make source code changes to the new function. Modify your web application to call the new function, and test the new version in production

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Option C is correct because using the Functions Framework allows for efficient local development and testing of Cloud Functions, which aligns with Google-recommended practices. The other options either involve unnecessary complexity or do not provide the same local testing capabilities, making them less efficient for rapid development.
