Like other public cloud vendors, Google has a Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) offering with Cloud Functions. In a blog post last month, the public cloud vendor announced Cloud Functions would support .NET Core 3.1 – a free, cross-platform, and open-source platform for Windows, Mac, and Linux.
With Cloud Functions, developers can write various functions such as HTTP functions to respond to HTTP events. They can now also write functions using .NET Core 3.1 runtime with Google’s Functions Framework for .NET, an open-source functions-as-a-service framework for writing portable .NET functions. Moreover, the runtime also supports Visual Basic (VB) and F#. And with code running on the Google Cloud Platform, the Cloud Functions written in .NET Core will scale automatically based on the load.
