Thanks :) but how to locally debug, every time need to deploy with SYSO logs and taking 2 mins to upload. Please suggest

You missed the part on - How do we run the Background function in local, specially when I am trying to link it with a PubSub topic. How do I do it?

A word of warning. If you plan on building an app that connects to SQL db then you might have to rethink using Cloud Functions. SQL db requires a socket connection which is expensive to create. In traditional server the connections are saved in a pool to be reused but in serverless the pool is destroyed along with the container. Or in case of concurrent requests it might be created multiple times. This can overwhelm your db as it has to destroy and create these connections many, many times. AWS Lambda has a solution in which it created another service called RDS Proxy to maintain the connection spikes. Google does not have it yet (it has something called SQL Proxy but it's not the same thing) So if you insist on doing serverless with SQL, you should go with AWS. RDS Proxy is a paid service so in the end you might be better off using old server.
