Can or How to use Python asyncio on Google Cloud Functions?

Is it possible to use Python's asyncio on Google Cloud Functions?

async def handle_someting():
    # do something
    some = await aiofunc()

# Do I need the code below?
loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
loop.run_until_complete(handle_someting())
loop.close()
Solution

  • Sure, you just need to run the async functions from your main deployed function (here, you would deploy the test function):

    import asyncio

async def foo():
    return 'Asynchronicity!'

async def bar():
    return await foo()

def test(request):
    return asyncio.run(bar())
