+ ## Testing startup tasks
170
+
171
+ When a functions server is starting up, it calls startup tasks automatically.
172
+ In the testing environment, when you call a function using the
173
+ {FunctionsFramework::Testing#call_http} or
174
+ {FunctionsFramework::Testing#call_event} methods, the testing environment will
175
+ also automatically execute any startup tasks for you.
176
+
177
+ You can also call startup tasks explicitly to test them in isolation, using the
178
+ {FunctionsFramework::Testing#run_startup_tasks} method. Pass the name of a
179
+ function, and the testing module will execute all defined startup blocks, in
180
+ order, as if the server were preparing that function for execution.
181
+ {FunctionsFramework::Testing#run_startup_tasks} returns the resulting globals
182
+ as a hash, so you can assert against its contents.
183
+
184
+ If you use {FunctionsFramework::Testing#run_startup_tasks} to run the startup
185
+ tasks explicitly, they will not be run again when you call the function itself
186
+ using {FunctionsFramework::Testing#call_http} or
187
+ {FunctionsFramework::Testing#call_event}. However, if startup tasks have
188
+ already been run implicitly by {FunctionsFramework::Testing#call_http} or
189
+ {FunctionsFramework::Testing#call_event}, then attempting to run them again
190
+ explicitly by calling {FunctionsFramework::Testing#run_startup_tasks} will
191
+ result in an exception.
192
+
193
+ There is currently no way to run a single startup block in isolation. If you
194
+ have multiple startup blocks defined, they are always executed together.

+ ## The runtime environment
201
+
202
+ A serverless environment may be somewhat different from server-based runtime
203
+ environments you might be used to. Serverless runtimes often provide a simpler
204
+ programming model, transparent scaling, and cost savings, but they do so by
205
+ controlling how your code is managed and executed. The Functions Framework is
206
+ designed around a "functions-as-a-service" (FaaS) paradigm, which runs
207
+ self-contained stateless functions that have an input and a return value. It's
208
+ important to understand what that means for your Ruby code in order to get the
209
+ most out of a cloud serverless product.
210
+
211
+ For example, multithreading is a core element of the Functions Framework. When
212
+ you write functions, you should assume that multiple executions may be taking
213
+ place concurrently in different threads, and thus you should avoid operations
214
+ that can cause concurrency issues or race conditions. The easiest way to do
215
+ this is to make your functions self-contained and stateless. Avoid global
216
+ variables and don't share mutable data between different function executions.
217
+
218
+ Additionally, a serverless runtime may throttle the CPU whenever no actual
219
+ function executions are taking place. This lets it reduce the CPU resources
220
+ used (and therefore the cost to you), while keeping your application warmed up
221
+ and ready to respond to new requests quickly. An important implication, though,
222
+ is that you should avoid starting up background threads or processes. They may
223
+ not get any CPU time during periods when your Ruby application is not actually
224
+ executing a function.
225
+
226
+ In the sections below, we'll discuss a few techniques and features of the
227
+ Functions Framework to help you write Ruby code that fits well into a
228
+ serverless paradigm.
229
+
230
+ ### Startup tasks
231
+
232
+ It is sometimes useful to perform one-time initialization that applies to many
233
+ function executions, for example to warm up caches, perform precomputation, or
234
+ establish shared remote connections. To run code during initialization, use
235
+ {FunctionsFramework.on_startup} to define a _startup task_.
236
+
237
+ ```ruby
238
+ require "functions_framework"
239
+
240
+ FunctionsFramework.on_startup do |function|
241
+ # Perform initialization here.
242
+ require "my_cache"
243
+ MyCache.warmup
244
+ end
245
+
246
+ FunctionsFramework.http "hello" do |request|
247
+ # Initialization will be done by the time a normal function is called.
248
+ end
249
+ ```
250
+
251
+ Startup tasks are run once per Ruby instance during cold start -- that is,
252
+ after the Ruby VM boots up but before the framework starts receiving requests
253
+ and executing functions. You can define multiple startup tasks, and they will
254
+ run in order, and are guaranteed to complete before any function is executed.
255
+
256
+ The block is optionally passed the {FunctionsFramework::Function} representing
257
+ the function that will be run. You code can, for example, perform different
258
+ initialization depending on the {FunctionsFramework::Function#name} or
259
+ {FunctionsFramework::Function#type}.
260
+
261
+ **In most cases, initialization code should live in an `on_startup` block
262
+ instead of at the "top level" of your Ruby file.** This is because some
263
+ serverless runtimes may load your Ruby code at build or deployment time (for
264
+ example, to verify that it properly defines the requested function), and this
265
+ will execute any code present at the top level of the Ruby file. If top-level
266
+ code is long-running or depends on runtime resources or environment variables,
267
+ this could cause the deployment to fail. By performing initialization in an
268
+ `on_startup` block instead, you ensure it will run only when an actual runtime
269
+ server is starting up, not at build/deployment time.
270
+
271
+ ```ruby
272
+ require "functions_framework"
273
+
274
+ # DO NOT perform initialization here because this could get run at build time.
275
+ # require "my_cache"
276
+ # MyCache.warmup
277
+
278
+ # Instead initialize in an on_startup block, which is executed only when a
279
+ # runtime server is starting up.
280
+ FunctionsFramework.on_startup do
281
+ # Perform initialization here.
282
+ require "my_cache"
283
+ MyCache.warmup
284
+ end
285
+
286
+ # ...
287
+ ```
288
+
289
+ Because startup tasks run during cold start, they could have an impact on your
290
+ function's startup latency. To mitigate this issue, it is possible to run parts
291
+ of your initialization lazily, as described below in the section below on
292
+ [lazy initialization](#Lazy_initialization).
293
+
294
+ ### The execution context and global data
295
+
296
+ When your function block executes, the _object context_ (i.e. `self`) is set to
297
+ an instance of {FunctionsFramework::Function::Callable}. Each function
298
+ invocation (including functions that might be running concurrently in separate
299
+ threads) runs within a different instance, to help you avoid having functions
300
+ interfere with each other.
301
+
302
+ The object context also defines a few methods that may be useful when writing
303
+ your function.
304
+
305
+ First, you can obtain the logger by calling the
306
+ {FunctionsFramework::Function::Callable#logger} convenience method. This is
307
+ the same logger that is provided by the HTTP request object or by the
308
+ {FunctionsFramework.logger} global method.
309
+
310
+ Second, you can access global shared data by passing a key to
311
+ {FunctionsFramework::Function::Callable#global}. _Global shared data_ is a set
312
+ of key-value pairs that are available to every function invocation. By default,
313
+ two keys are available to all functions:
314
+
315
+ * `:function_name` whose String value is the name of the running function.
316
+ * `:function_type` whose value is either `:http` or `:cloud_event` depending
317
+ on the type of the running function.
318
+
319
+ Following is a simple example using the `logger` and `global` methods of the
320
+ context object:
321
+
322
+ ```ruby
323
+ require "functions_framework"
324
+
325
+ FunctionsFramework.cloud_event "hello" do |event|
326
+ logger.info "Now running the function called #{global(:function_name)}"
327
+ end
328
+ ```
329
+
330
+ To avoid concurrency issues, global shared data is immutable when executing a
331
+ function. You cannot add or delete keys or change the value of existing keys.
332
+ However, the global data is settable during startup tasks, because startup
333
+ tasks never run concurrently. You can use this feature to initialize shared
334
+ resources, as described below.
335
+
336
+ Using the global data mechanism is generally preferred over actual Ruby global
337
+ variables, because the Functions Framework can help you avoid concurrent edits.
338
+ Additionally, the framework will isolate the sets of global data associated
339
+ with different sets of functions, which lets you run functions in isolation
340
+ during unit tests. If you are testing multiple functions, they will not
341
+ interfere with each other as they might if they used global variables.
342
+
343
+ ### Sharing resources
344
+
345
+ Although functions should generally be self-contained and stateless, it is
346
+ sometimes useful to share certain kinds of resources across multiple function
347
+ invocations that run on the same Ruby instance. For example, you might
348
+ establish a single connection to a remote database or other service, and share
349
+ it across function invocations to avoid incurring the overhead of
350
+ re-establishing it for every function invocation.
351
+
352
+ The best practice for sharing a resource across function invocations is to
353
+ initialize it in a {FunctionsFramework.on_startup} block, and reference it from
354
+ global shared data. (As discussed above, the best practice is to initialize
355
+ shared resources in a startup task rather than at the top level of a Ruby file,
356
+ and to use the Functions Framework's global data mechanism rather than Ruby's
357
+ global variables.)
358
+
359
+ Here is a simple example:
360
+
361
+ ```ruby
362
+ require "functions_framework"
363
+
364
+ # Use an on_startup block to initialize a shared client and store it in
365
+ # the global shared data.
366
+ FunctionsFramework.on_startup do
367
+ require "google/cloud/storage"
368
+ set_global :storage_client, Google::Cloud::Storage.new
369
+ end
370
+
371
+ # The shared storage_client can be accessed by all function invocations
372
+ # via the global shared data.
373
+ FunctionsFramework.http "storage_example" do |request|
374
+ bucket = global(:storage_client).bucket "my-bucket"
375
+ file = bucket.file "path/to/my-file.txt"
376
+ file.download.to_s
377
+ end
378
+ ```
379
+
380
+ Importantly, if you do share a resource across function invocations, make sure
381
+ the resource is thread-safe, so that separate functions running concurrently in
382
+ different threads can access them safely. The API clients provided by Google,
383
+ for example, are thread-safe and can be used concurrently.
384
+
385
+ Also of note: There is no guaranteed cleanup hook. The Functions Framework does
386
+ not provide a way to register a cleanup task, and we recommend against using
387
+ resources that require explicit "cleanup". This is because serverless runtimes
388
+ may perform CPU throttling, and therefore there may not be an opportunity for
389
+ cleanup tasks to run. (For example, you could register a `Kernel.at_exit` task,
390
+ but the Ruby VM may still terminate without calling it.)
391
+
392
+ ### Lazy initialization
393
+
394
+ Because startup tasks run during cold start, they could have an impact on your
395
+ function's startup latency. You can mitigate this by initializing some globals
396
+ _lazily_. When setting a global, instead of computing and setting the value
397
+ directly (e.g. constructing a shared API client object directly), you can
398
+ provide a block that describes how to construct it on demand.
399
+
400
+ Here is an example using the storage client we saw above.
401
+
402
+ ```ruby
403
+ require "functions_framework"
404
+
405
+ # This startup block describes _how_ to initialize a shared client, but
406
+ # does not construct it immediately.
407
+ FunctionsFramework.on_startup do
408
+ require "google/cloud/storage"
409
+ set_global :storage_client do
410
+ Google::Cloud::Storage.new
411
+ end
412
+ end
413
+
414
+ # The first time this function is invoked, it will call the above block
415
+ # to construct the storage client. Subsequent invocations will not need
416
+ # to construct it again, but will reuse the same shared object.
417
+ FunctionsFramework.http "storage_example" do |request|
418
+ bucket = global(:storage_client).bucket "my-bucket"
419
+ file = bucket.file "path/to/my-file.txt"
420
+ file.download.to_s
421
+ end
422
+ ```
423
+
424
+ The block will not be called until a function actually attempts to access the
425
+ global. From that point, subsequent accesses of the global will return that
426
+ same shared value; the block will be called at most once. This is true even if
427
+ multiple functions are run concurrently in different threads.
428
+
429
+ Lazy initialization is particularly useful if you define several different
430
+ functions that may use different sets of shared resources. Instead of
431
+ initializing all resources eagerly up front, you could initialize them lazily
432
+ and run only the code needed by the function that is actually invoked.
