Basic Application Logging with Cloud Functions

A beginner-friendly demonstration of implementing structured application logging using Python 3 and Google Cloud Functions, integrated with Google Cloud Logging Explorer.

---

📌 Project Overview

This project showcases how to handle application logs in a serverless environment on Google Cloud Platform (GCP). It deploys an HTTP-triggered Python Cloud Function that generates structured JSON logs across multiple log severity levels (INFO, WARNING, and ERROR).

Key Features

• Serverless Execution: Deployed as a lightweight Google Cloud Function.
• Structured Logging: Formats log outputs in JSON for easy querying and filtering.
• Log Levels Simulation: Supports handling and logging distinct event types based on request parameters.
• GCP Cloud Logging Integration: Seamlessly routes outputs to Google Cloud Logging Explorer.
