GcfRuby : simple predictions with google cloud functions

This gem allows interaction within ruby code with various APIs hosted in google cloud functions. It is primarly designed to predict results of machine learning models and works synchronously (for light predictions) or asynchronously (for heavier predictions).

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'gcf_ruby'

And then execute:

$ bundle install

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install gcf_ruby

Usage

After installing the gem, complete the file in config/initializers/gcf_ruby.rb with required api_url (for webhooks) and api_bearer for authentication.

Two methods are available (as of 19/04/2021) :

• predict(model_name, params) which returns synchronously the result of the model with the corresponding model_name.
• predict_async which returns asynchronously the result of the model. It requires a webhook url (set in api_url) on which the response will be sent.

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
