Currently, I'm using Google Function with python which refactors the result of Goolge OCR (Vision API). So, the current structure is as below.

User sends the target image with mobile application -> Trigger the function in Goolge Function -> Sends the result to mobile application.

Since it is quite slow, I am trying to change the process with Golang. So this is my question.

I think although I deploy my golang function to Google Functions, it isn't compiled. The code is compiled when instance is made and runs. However, I want to compile the code and just execute the program when the user triggers. So how can I use compiled file in Google Function?

Can you elaborate please, why do you think so:

From the best of my understanding, the build happens at the deployment time, as described on the documentation page Building Cloud Functions Images:

When you deploy your function's source code to Cloud Functions, that source is stored in a Cloud Storage bucket. Cloud Build then automatically builds your code into a container image and pushes that image to Container Registry.

There may be a few ways to improve performance and decrease latency (depending on your context, requirements and budget) - see One-time initialization for Go, and Cloud Functions Execution Environment paying attention to the Cold starts section...
