I know this may miss the point of using Cloud Functions in the first place, but in my specific case, I'm using Cloud Functions because it's the only way I can bridge Next.js with Firebase Hosting. I don't need to make it cost efficient, etc.
With that said, the cold boot times for Cloud Functions are simply unbearable and not production-ready, averaging around 10 to 15 seconds for my boilerplate.
I've watched this video by Google (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IOXrwFqR6kY) that talks about how to reduce cold boot time. In a nutshell: 1) Trim dependencies, 2) Trial & error for dependencies' versions for cache on Google's network, 3) Lazy loading.
But 1) there are only so many dependencies I can trim. 2) How would I know which version is more cached? 3) There are only so many dependencies I can lazy load.
Another way is to avoid the cold boot all together. What's a good way or hack that I can essentially keep my (one and only) cloud function warm?
