Google Cloud Functions (GCF) error handling involves two main strategies: synchronous and asynchronous. For synchronous functions, exceptions are thrown directly and HTTP status codes can be used to indicate an error. Asynchronous functions use the callback parameter for error handling; if an error occurs, it’s passed as the first argument to the callback.
In both cases, unhandled exceptions result in function termination. To prevent this, wrap code blocks that may throw errors in try-catch statements. This allows you to handle errors gracefully without abrupt termination.
For logging and monitoring of errors, integrate GCF with Google Stackdriver Error Reporting. It automatically groups and tracks similar errors, providing insights into issues affecting your application.
Remember, proper error handling is crucial for maintaining a robust, reliable cloud function system.
