This week Google Cloud Functions went into beta. We also released an integration between Cloud Functions and Firebase. This allows you to run your JavaScript functions on Google Cloud's infrastructure in response to Firebase Database writes.

But using a Node.js process on an App Engine Flexible Environment is also still a valid option to run code in response to database events. It all depends on your needs which is better suited.
