Building, Testing, and Deploying Google Cloud Functions With Ruby

Serverless Functions are a new programming paradigm of developing and deploying cloud services. In a serverless world, we abstract the provisioning, maintenance, and scaling of our backend services to the cloud provider. This substantially improves developer productivity by allowing developers focus on solving a specific problem. While there are many advantages and disadvantages of building serverless functions, one thing to consider in building them is language support. Recently, Google announced the support of Ruby 2.7 for Google Cloud Functions, and in this article, I'll focus on building, testing, and deploying a serverless function in Ruby on Google Cloud Functions and the pros and cons of serverless functions.
