With Google Cloud Functions, you can run your function locally using the Function Framework libraries (available in all Cloud Function languages) [0]. These libraries are used in production Cloud Functions, so you're not emulating the runtime. The feedback loop / devX is pretty simple with just 1 command to run the function locally like a library for every language.

We have some guides on local development here [1]. Our samples have system tests that use the FF.

You also can bundle your function in a container after building it with `pack build` [2]. This provides an exact container environment with things like environment variables and system packages.

We're working on improving eventing devX, but we have some `curl` examples here [3]. Connecting multiple functions together eloquently is still something to be desired though.

You've got to start somewhere. It starts with developer samples, moves into tools, languages (Apps Script), then sub-products.

If you're asking for Google to open source it's products in one big blow, I don't think that will happen without smaller steps. I'm on the team that would probably best start the conversation of considering G Suite in open source. Would love to hear proposals.

There's an increasing amount of things you can do with G Suite, almost all our products have APIs and Apps Script libraries.

If there's something missing in our APIs, feel free to let us know.
