Google Cloud Serverless VPC + Cloud Functions

Summary

I'll show an example configuration of GCP Serverless VPC Access in this post.  The scenario here will be a Cloud Function that needs to access Memorystore (GCP managed Redis).  Memorystore is isolated in a VPC with a private range address - which is good as far as security is concerned.  To access that VPC from Cloud Functions, a Serverless VPC connector needs to be built.

Cloud Function Redis Client Connection Code

const {createClient} = require('redis');
 
    getClient() {
        const client = createClient({
            socket: {
                host: process.env.REDIS_HOST
            },
            password: process.env.REDIS_PASS
        });
        client.on('error', (err) => { 
            throw Error(`redis client error: ${err}`);
        });
        return client;
    }
