Google Cloud Run Functions Platform (Development)

This page is the canonical TPF guide for FUNCTION platform builds that target Google Cloud Run functions. For the broader provider matrix, pair it with the Multi-Cloud Function Providers Guide.

What TPF Supports Today

• Platform mode: FUNCTION (default platform remains COMPUTE)
• Transport mode: REST (required in Function mode)
• Google-specific handlers: generated HttpFunction handlers via the Quarkus Google Cloud Functions extension
• Local verification: bootstrap/smoke coverage through the Search example

FUNCTION does not currently support gRPC transport. If you select FUNCTION, the generated runtime must use REST.

Cloud Run functions vs Cloud Run services

This page covers Cloud Run functions, the serverless function product path.

It does not cover generic Cloud Run services. A container-style Cloud Run deployment is closer to the normal COMPUTE path for a Quarkus service, not the current TPF FUNCTION provider path.

Durable-workflow note

Provider-level durable or workflow products do not change TPF runtime semantics.

That means:

1. they are not a separate TPF platform mode,
2. they do not replace COMPUTE + QUEUE_ASYNC,
3. checkpoint handoff and queue-backed HA still belong to the orchestrator runtime path rather than the function-provider path.

Example verification surface

The current repo verification surface for Google Cloud Run functions is located in examples/search.

Build:

./examples/search/build-gcp.sh -DskipTests

Bootstrap smoke:

./mvnw -f examples/search/pom.xml \
  -pl orchestrator-svc \
  -Dtpf.build.platform=FUNCTION \
  -Dtpf.build.transport=REST \
  -Dtpf.build.rest.naming.strategy=RESOURCEFUL \
  -Dtpf.build.gcp.scope=compile \
  -Dquarkus.profile=gcp-functions \
  -Dtest=GcpFunctionsBootstrapSmokeTest \
  test
