save file to google cloud working directory

Good morning. I am working in development with nodejs in local and I generate a .csv file Once generated, I save it in the local system directory using library 'objects-to-csv';

Through the function:

     // New file csv
    const csv1 = new ObjectsToCsv(coordenadas);
    
    // Save to file:
    await csv1.toDisk('./coordenadas.csv');
   
  })()

If I deploy the application in google cloud, it works, however it reads the coordinates.csv file but does not rewrite it. There is some method without using storage? Thank you

When you use serverless application (App Engine, CLoud Run, Cloud functions) your code is packaged into a container. Thus, you can't write in it, only read. In each product, you still have an "in-memory" file system in /tmp

So, use this directory to write the file and to serve it to your user. But, be careful, it's an in-memory file system. If you don't purge it (after the user download), you will reach the maximum allowed memory size and your instance will crash.
