Our total monthly GCP bill is in the five figures range, so it's included there if we need it. Ultimately, a very simple function running on Cloud Function is just way, way more reliable and "safe" for us than spinning up a VM, monitoring that, installing a full web server or CGI or Django/Flask setup to it, keeping it patched, managing deploys to it, etc. There's just fewer moving parts to break. I wouldn't advise someone to spin up a key part of their infrastructure on Cloud Functions if they're not already using GCP for other things. But once you're there, it's a very useful part of the ecosystem.
