Alibaba Cloud Function Compute is a fully managed, event-driven compute service. Function Compute allows you to focus on writing and uploading code without having to manage infrastructure such as servers. Function Compute provides compute resources to run code flexibly and reliably. Additionally, Function Compute provides a generous amount of free resources. No fees are incurred for up to 1,000,000 invocations and 400,000 CU-second compute resources per month.
Benefits
-
Efficient and O&M-free
Function Compute frees you from purchasing servers, configuring load balancers and resource scaling, and other O&M operations so that you can focus on developing business logic and writing core code. This simplifies service construction and speeds up development and iteration.
-
Elastic and Highly Available
Function Compute automatically scales and mobilizes computing resources within milliseconds to handle traffic peaks. The reserved instance feature will provide enhanced performance and help you easily migrate online applications to Function Compute as well as avoid latency glitches caused by cold start.
-
Low Cost on Demand
Function Compute provides flexible billing methods for a variety of scenarios to save costs. The pay-as-you-go method charges you for instances you have used. The subscription method allows you to purchase computing powers based on estimated business load. The combination of pay-as-you-go and subscription instances effectively reduces costs.
-
Stable and Highly Reliable
Function Compute is deployed in distributed clusters that are located in multiple zones. If a natural disaster or power failure causes a zone to become unavailable, Function Compute automatically uses instances in another zone of the same region to run functions and ensure high service availability.

Services Integrations
Function Compute associates event sources with triggers. An associated event source triggers a function to execute either synchronously or asynchronously when an event occurs. The change event is passed as an input parameter to the entry function.
OSS Trigger
Automatically triggers function execution when bucket objects are changed.
Tablestore Trigger
Passes change information as an input parameter to trigger function execution when table data is changed.
Log Service Trigger
Regularly obtains updated logs and triggers functions for custom log processing.
MNS trigger
Writes functions to process messages published on topics in real time.
CDN trigger
Writes functions for customized processing of CDN events such as refreshing and prefetching.
HTTP trigger
Receives and processes HTTP requests as well as returns HTTP responses.
Time trigger
Triggers function execution at a specified time point.
EventBridge trigger
Route events to Function Compute by using event rules.
Kafka Connector trigger
Export data from a topic in the Kafka instance to a function.
Cloud Monitor trigger
Allows you to use monitoring events as event sources.
MQTT trigger
Export data to an HTTP function of Function Compute by using data outflow rules in the MQTT console.
