Would it be possible to invoke native code like in other FaaS runtimes: https://github.com/mankash/nativeGcpFunction?files=1 https://github.com/mankash/nativeGc

Once we enable WebAssembly, you'll be able to use compiled languages like C/C++/Rust/Go/etc. through that. It's not exactly "native code" but should accomplish the same goals. We don't plan to allow true native-code because sandboxing native binaries is much more expensive than sandboxing with V8 / WebAssembly. In fact, for these kinds of massively-multi-tenant scenarios, code running in a V8 sandbox can actually be faster than "native code" due to reduced context switching.
