### [Read this on the main serverless docs site](https://www.serverless.com/framework/docs/providers/google/guide/workflow) # Google - Workflow Intro. Quick recommendations and tips for various processes. ## Development Workflow 1. Write your functions 2. Use `serverless deploy` when you've made changes to `serverless.yml` and in CI/CD systems 3. Use `serverless invoke --function myFunction` to test your Google Cloud Functions 4. Open up a separate tab in your console and see logs in there via `serverless logs --function myFunction` 5. Write tests to run locally ### Larger Projects - Break your application / project into multiple Serverless Services - Model your Serverless Services around Data Models or Workflows - Keep the Functions and Resources in your Serverless Services to a minimum ## Cheat Sheet A handy list of commands to use when developing with the Serverless Framework. ### Create A Service: 1. Create a new service with the `google-nodejs` template ```bash serverless create --template google-nodejs --path my-service ``` 2. Install the dependencies ```bash cd my-service npm install ``` 3. Update `serverless.yml` Update the `project` and `credentials` in your projects `serverless.yml` ### Install A Service This is a convenience method to install a pre-made Serverless Service locally by downloading the Github repo and unzipping it. ``` serverless install -u [GITHUB URL OF SERVICE] ``` ### Deploy Use this when you have made changes to your Functions, Events or Resources in `serverless.yml` or you simply want to deploy all changes within your Service at the same time. ``` serverless deploy ``` ### Invoke Function Invokes an Google Cloud Function ``` serverless invoke function --function [FUNCTION NAME] ``` ### Logs Open up a separate tab in your console and see logs for a specific function using the following command. ``` serverless logs --function [FUNCTION NAME] ``` ### Info See information about your deployed service by running the `info` command in your service directory. ``` serverless info ```
