Gcp Notes/gcp cloudevents

Intro

You can use gcp cloud funtions to eat gcp logging events.

gcp logging -----> gcp eventarc              --> gcp cloud functions
( lots of data )   ( filter on _this_ event)     ( run _this_ code )

The hardest part for me is how to handle different types of events.

the cloud event object has a property called payload, but is that an object ? or a dict?

the cloud event object can be treated as a dist, cloudevent['field']
