Container silently freezes on making a request to firestore if multiple requests were created before container starts about firebase-functions-python HOT 2 OPEN

I suspect this is due to the issue described in grpc/grpc#36265 (grpcio is a dependency of google-cloud-firestore). grpc/grpc#36266 fixes this, but I suspect it won't be available until the next release of grpcio library (1.63.0).

Pinning grpcio==1.58.0 in my requirements.txt fixed the issue in my reproduction.

Same issue. Until this gets fixed, to avoid the timeout errors I had to set the minimum number of instances to 1 (which incurs an additional cost with GCP).

@https_fn.on_request(
    min_instances=1,
    cors=options.CorsOptions(
        cors_origins=["*"],
        cors_methods=["get", "post"],
    )
)

Also, the timeouts were commonly associated with with various internet bots invoking the functions, with several requests being generated during a cold start before the first request could be fulfilled. So, @antopolskiy's analysis and use of hey to generate a small load is accurate and essential to recreate the problem.
