javascript - Firebase Cloud Function with Firestore returning "Deadline Exceeded"

Question

I took one of the sample functions from the Firestore documentation and was able to successfully run it from my local firebase environment. However, once I deployed to my firebase server, the function completes, but no entries are made in the firestore database. The firebase function logs show "Deadline Exceeded." I'm a bit baffled. Anyone know why this is happening and how to resolve this?

Here is the sample function:

exports.testingFunction = functions.https.onRequest((request, response) => {
var data = {
    name: 'Los Angeles',
    state: 'CA',
    country: 'USA'
};

// Add a new document in collection "cities" with ID 'DC'
var db = admin.firestore();
var setDoc = db.collection('cities').doc('LA').set(data);

response.status(200).send();
});
