Best Practices
✅ DO
Use service accounts with least privilege
Store secrets in Secret Manager
Implement proper error handling
Use environment variables for configuration
Monitor with Cloud Logging and Cloud Monitoring
Set appropriate memory and timeout
Use event filters to reduce invocations
Implement idempotent functions
❌ DON'T
Store secrets in code
Use default service account
Create long running functions
Ignore error handling
Deploy without testing
Use unauthenticated access for sensitive functions
