I've been using serverless architecture on GCP for a while now. It's great for scaling, but has a learning curve. I'd recommend checking out their documentation and tutorials to get started.

@user2 I agree, debugging can be tricky. But I've found using tools like Firebase and Stackdriver helps in these scenarios.

@user1 Thanks for the tip on Firebase! I'm looking forward to trying it out with GCP's serverless offerings.

I've tried it too, but found it difficult to debug and maintain due to the lack of control compared to traditional servers. Your thoughts?

@user2 That's understandable. But, in my experience, the benefits outweigh the cons. I recommend sticking with it and continuing to learn.

I've used it for a small project, and found the costs were higher than expected due to cold starts. Any advice on managing costs?

@user5 One strategy is to use provisioned functions when possible or use a different serverless provider that doesn't have the same cost structure.

@user5 Another tip is to optimize the size of your deployment package and make sure to clean up unused Cloud Functions to minimize costs.
