google-cloud-run firestore node.js JavaScript

I'm migrating some code and I'm not sure how to approach Hey everyone, I'm running into an issue that's driving me crazy. I'm experiencing issues with data retrieval from Firestore when running my Node.js application on Google Cloud Run. Despite my queries working perfectly when tested locally, they frequently return undefined or incomplete data when deployed. For example, I have a simple query to retrieve user documents: ```javascript const { Firestore } = require('@google-cloud/firestore'); const firestore = new Firestore(); async function getUserData(userId) { const userRef = firestore.collection('users').doc(userId); const doc = await userRef.get(); if (!doc.exists) { console.log('No such document!'); return null; } else { return doc.data(); } } ``` When I call `getUserData('12345')`, I sometimes receive `undefined`, even though I can verify the document exists in Firestore. I've checked the permissions and ensured that the Cloud Run service account has adequate access to Firestore. I also tried logging the results and getting the document data directly within my Cloud Run service: ```javascript console.log('Document data:', doc.data()); ``` This also logs `undefined` sporadically. I've ruled out issues with the Firestore rules as I have them set to allow reads from authenticated users. The Cloud Run instance is running on Node.js 14.x, and I’m using the Firestore client version `5.10.0`. Additionally, I noticed that this scenario seems to occur more frequently during peak times, leading me to suspect it might be a scaling scenario or connection question with Firestore. I would appreciate any insights into what might be causing these inconsistencies or if there are any known issues with the Firestore client in a Cloud Run environment. I'm working on a CLI tool that needs to handle this. Has anyone else encountered this? Is this even possible? The stack includes Javascript and several other technologies. Thanks in advance! Any suggestions would be helpful.
