Question: Add max instances to runtimeOptions?

[alexlouden]

I've been reading through #425 (@merlinnot's proposal to add retry to runtimeOptions) and I was wondering whether it would make sense to add max-instances too? Or should this wait until max-instances is out of beta?

interface RuntimeOptions {
  maxInstances?: number;
  retry?: FailurePolicy | boolean ;
  memory?: '128MB' | '256MB' | '512MB' | '1GB' | '2GB';
  timeoutSeconds?: number;
}

At the moment all our firebase cloud functions are deployed via CD - we try and avoid using the gcloud CLI or the web console. (I've actually only recently discovered that retry and max-instances existed!)

I couldn't figure out how to label this issue, so I've labeled it for a human to triage. Hang tight.

I would love to have this. Is it just a matter of updating the typing? I can enter a PR if it would help.

Hey @alexlouden. We need more information to resolve this issue but there hasn't been an update in 7 days. I'm marking the issue as stale and if there are no new updates in the next 3 days I will close it automatically.

If you have more information that will help us get to the bottom of this, just add a comment!

@andrianabeltran I am not sure about retry or runtimeOptions but for maxInstances I believe the idea is to simply pass whatever value that is set to the function configuration on GCP per this spec:
