Google Cloud Functions examples

Code snippets and examples for Google Cloud Functions.

ffmpeg example

Inspired by the Stack Overflow question: Can you call out to FFMPEG in a Firebase Cloud Function?

The ffmpeg binary is included in the Cloud Functions environment. See complete list of included system packages.

Two Cloud Functions examples in ffmpeg/index.js:

• ffmpegTest() - Use the npm module fluent-ffmpeg to resize a video. This module provides a nice, easy to use wrapper over the ffmpeg command- line interface.
• ffmpegShellTest() - invoke the ffmpeg binary directly to get info about a video file.

Deploying the ffmpeg examples:

cd ffmpeg/
./deploy.sh
