This topic describes how to deploy a Spring Boot application to Function Compute. Function Compute provides a method different from traditional deployment methods. You can deploy a traditional Spring Boot application to Function Compute and use the application for production without performing operations such as purchasing a server. The deployed Spring Boot application can use the auto scaling, pay-as-you-go, and O&M-free features of Function Compute.

Prerequisites

The following operations are complete:

Background information

Spring Boot is a new open source and lightweight framework developed by the Pivotal team in 2013 and released in April 2014. Spring Boot is designed based on Spring 4.0. Spring Boot inherits the original excellent features of the Spring framework, and simplifies the entire construction and development process of Spring applications by simplifying configurations. In addition, Spring Boot resolves problems such as version conflicts and reference instability of dependent packages by integrating a large number of frameworks.

Procedure

  1. Create a Spring Boot project. For more information, see Spring Quickstart Guide.
  2. Run the following command to open the created sample project or an existing project:
    cd <project-name>
  3. Run the on-premises project.
    • macOS and Linux
      ./mvnw spring-boot:run
    • Windows
      mvnw spring-boot:run
  4. In the root directory of the project, run the mvn package command to package files.
    The compilation output is similar to the following sample code.
    mvn package

  5. Run the fun deploy -y command to deploy the application to Function Compute.
    fun deploy -y

    Waiting for custom domain Domain to be deployed...
    custom domain Domain deploy success

    After the application is deployed, you can check logs to find the temporary domain name that is generated by Function Compute. You can use the temporary domain name to access the deployed application.

    Note The temporary domain name is used only for demonstration and development purposes. It is valid for a limited period of time. You must use a domain name that has obtained an Internet Content Provider (ICP) filing from Alibaba Cloud for production. For more information, see Configure a custom domain name.
