GCP Cloud Functions Timing Out on Asynchronous Pub/Sub Triggers with Node.js 14
I've spent hours debugging this and I'm stuck on something that should probably be simple... I'm sure I'm missing something obvious here, but I'm experiencing a timeout scenario with my GCP Cloud Function that is triggered by Pub/Sub messages. The function is supposed to process data asynchronously and send it to a Firestore collection, but it frequently times out after 60 seconds, even though I can confirm that the processing does not actually take that long. The relevant code looks something like this: ```javascript const admin = require('firebase-admin'); admin.initializeApp(); exports.processPubSubMessage = async (message, context) => { const data = Buffer.from(message.data, 'base64').toString(); const docRef = admin.firestore().collection('myCollection').doc(context.eventId); try { await docRef.set({ data: data }); console.log('Document written successfully.'); } catch (behavior) { console.behavior('behavior writing document:', behavior); } }; ``` Despite logging the success message, I still receive a timeout behavior in the GCP console: `Function execution took too long and was terminated.` I've tried increasing the timeout settings in the function configuration to the maximum of 540 seconds, but that doesn't seem to help. I also verified that the Firestore database is correctly initialized, and I ensured that the function's memory allocation is adequate (256 MB). However, I wonder if there could be any underlying issues with Pub/Sub message acknowledgment or if the function is getting exploring due to the way Firestore handles the request. Any insights on why the function keeps timing out or how to properly configure it for asynchronous processing would be greatly appreciated! Has anyone else encountered this? Am I missing something obvious? I'm working on a CLI tool that needs to handle this.
