Although I've never used Lambda Layers. Do you think a similar approach is something that could be implemented?

Maybe even just something for compiled languages like Go, Crystal, etc that will just run the binary?

It's definitely something that we've discussed.

Would you consider running a container that could be run like Cloud Functions? This container could run the binary that you create. It's not something that we support today but I'm curious whether this would meet your needs.

Does this mean we actually run the container ourselves on our GKE cluster or in a VM? Or do you mean a "container" runtime for Cloud Functions? Both would be interesting, but we'd prefer the latter since there would be less to manage. I'd be interested to see the performance of it.

If you're interested in something along the lines of the latter, you can sign up for an early access preview here: g.co/serverlesscontainers

This is something Cloud Native Buildpacks (buildpacks.io) are intended to make easy. We hang out on buildpacks.slack.com, if you'd like to come pick our brains.
