The Functions Framework for Python is an open-source FaaS framework developed by the Google Cloud Functions team. It helps developers create lightweight and portable Python functions that operate seamlessly across various environments, such as Google Cloud Functions, local machines, Cloud Run, and Knative-based setups. Eliminating the need for establishing an HTTP server, it simplifies the transition from writing functions to deploying them. Key features include local development server deployment, request invocation, and CloudEvents spec event handling. This framework is beneficial for implementing cross-platform cloud solutions and ensures efficient function testing and deployment in serverless platforms.
