Is there a way to stop/disable a Google Cloud Func

Question

I have running multiple Google Cloud functions. One is not operating well, so I want to stop them until I've fixed the situation.

I have seen that I can remove the function, but is there a way to disable and later; enable the function?

Answer 1

Do not export the function. That way you can still keep it unmodified and yet be able to disable it.

Answer 2

Follow up for anyone else looking for this, I created an ENV variable and added an if check before my function executes. Ex:

if os.environ['functionOn'] == 'true':
    # insert previous function code here

Can change function on/off with ENV variable change from console + redeploy.

Answer 3

You cannot disable a function. Just comment the function body. It would be a good practice to log the call in the console and then return null so you can keep track whenever the function is invoked.

Answer 4

I am not sure if this is late but what I did is that I deleted/commented the function I don't need and deployed again using firebase deploy --only functions . Once run, it shows that the function is being deleted. Hope this helpsGCF Deployment

Answer 5

There's no button or switch you can turn to "switch it off". And I prefer to maintan a "single source of truth" when developing, so I removed them. If you have a CI integrated in your git (like gitlab CI) it should be just one click to re-deploy
