GOOGLE CLOUD FUNCTIONS TUTORIAL FOR BEGINNERS USING NODE.JS

This tutorial walkthrough the benefits of serverless and in-particular why you would want to use Google Cloud Functions on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) for building your node.js based services. We look at the UI and Dashboards of Google Cloud Functions and create a new service both through the UI and the GCloud Shell. In addition we spend time deep-diving some of the metrics on the dashboards and look at how express is used at the heart of the Cloud Functions platform for nodejs.

You cleared up about 2 hours of headaches and confusions from the official documentation, (and you also taught me the thing about writing a "start" script working to replace the default start command). Thanks so much!

Excellent - thanks Chris, just what I needed. The official Google docs leave a lot to be desired and for me, the example they provided just didn't work, this was a great help. Thanks again.
