Function Compute:Access a Tair (Redis OSS-compatible) database

Prerequisites

A Tair (Redis OSS-compatible) instance is created. For more information, see Step 1: Create an instance.

Procedure

1. Install Serverless Devs and Docker and configure the AccessKey information.

   For more information, see Quick start and the "Add a key" section of the Configure Serverless Devs topic.

2. Run the following command to initialize your project:

   sudo s init

   In the CLI, specify Alibaba Cloud as the vendor, specify the quick start mode, and then select a built-in Python runtime. Specify the project name and the region in which the project is deployed. In this example, the start-fc-redis-python project is deployed in the China (Hangzhou) region.

3. Run the following command to go to the project directory:

   cd start-fc-redis-python

4. Modify the directory file based on your own business requirements.

   • Edit the s.yaml file. Sample file:

     edition: 1.0.0    
     name: fcDeployApp   
     access: "default" 
     
     services:
      fc-db-redis-python:
       component: devsapp/fc 
       props:
        region: cn-hangzhou
        service:
         name: fc-db-demo
         description: 'demo for fc visit db'
         internetAccess: true
         vpcConfig:
          vpcId: vpc-bp1oeg1fwxzuxcliq**** # The ID of the VPC in which the database instance resides. 
          securityGroupId: sg-bp164seaxj7wc4d0**** # The ID of the security group. 
          vswitchIds:
           - vsw-bp1192npo1ziqzw4**** # Make sure that the CIDR block of the vSwitch is added to the whitelist of the database instance. 
        function:
         name: redis
         description: visit redis
         runtime: python3
         codeUri: ./code
         handler: index.handler
         memorySize: 256
         timeout: 30
         initializationTimeout: 60
         initializer: index.initializer
         environmentVariables:
          REDIS_HOST: r-bp1h2g53l3thqg****.redis.rds.aliyuncs.com # The private IP address of the database instance. 
          REDIS_PASSWORD: **** # The password used to log on to the database instance. 
          REDIS_PORT: 63** # The private port of the database instance.

     Important

     Make sure that the CIDR block of the vSwitch that you configure for the function is added to the whitelist of the database instance. For more information, see Configure an IP address whitelist for the database section of this topic.

   • Edit the index.py code file. The code logic is to read the value of the counter key from Tair (Redis OSS-compatible), increase the value by 1, and then write the new value back to Tair (Redis OSS-compatible). Sample code:

     # -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
     import os
     import redis
     
     conn_pool = None
     
     
     def initializer(context):
         global conn_pool
         conn_pool = redis.ConnectionPool(
             host=os.environ['REDIS_HOST'], password=os.environ['REDIS_PASSWORD'],
             port=os.environ['REDIS_PORT'], db=1, decode_responses=True)
     
     
     def handler(event, context):
         global conn_pool
         r = redis.Redis(connection_pool=conn_pool)
     
         counter = r.get('counter')
     
         if counter is None:
             counter = 0
         else:
             counter = int(counter)
     
         print('counter: ' + str(counter))
     
         r.set('counter', str(counter + 1))
         return counter
     

5. Run the following command to build the project:

   sudo s build --use-docker

6. Run the following command to deploy the project:

   sudo s deploy -y

7. Run the following command to invoke the function:

   sudo s invoke -e "{}"

   The following code snippet shows the expected output. The value in the returned result increases from 0, which indicates that the value of the counter key is successfully read from Tair (Redis OSS-compatible).

Configure an IP address whitelist for the database

1. Log on to the console.

2. In the top navigation bar, select the region in which the instance is deployed.

3. On the Instances page, find the instance and click its ID.

4. In the left-side navigation pane of the instance details page, click Whitelist Settings. On the Whitelist Settings tab, find the whitelist that you want to modify and click Modify in the Actions column.

5. In the Modify Whitelist panel, enter the CIDR block of the vSwitch to which the instance is bound in the Whitelist field and click OK.
