  • Multiple code entry modes

    FunctionGraph allows you to edit code inline, upload a ZIP file from Object Storage Service (OBS), or directly upload a ZIP or JAR file. Table 2 lists the code entry modes supported for each runtime.

Trigger

FunctionGraph supports multiple trigger types, such as Simple Message Notification (SMN), API Gateway (APIG), and OBS trigger types. Table 3 lists the supported trigger types and the function invocation mode of each trigger type.

Logs and Metrics

FunctionGraph graphically displays function monitoring metrics and collects function running logs, enabling you to view function statuses, and locate problems by querying logs.

For details on how to query logs, see Querying Logs.

For details on how to view function metrics, see Viewing Function Metrics.

For details about tenant-level monitoring information, see Dashboard.

Function Initialization

The initializer interface is introduced to:

  • Isolate function initialization and request processing to enable clearer program logic and better structured and higher-performance code.
  • Ensure smooth function upgrade to prevent performance loss during the application layer's cold start initialization. Enable new function instances to automatically execute initialization logic before processing requests.
  • Identify the overhead of application layer initialization, and accurately determine the time for resource scaling and the quantity of required resources. This feature makes request latency more stable when the application load increases and more function instances are required.

HTTP Functions

You can set Function Type to HTTP Function on the function creation page. HTTP functions are designed to optimize web services. You can send HTTP requests to URLs to trigger function execution. HTTP functions support API Gateway (APIG) triggers only.

Custom Images

You can directly package and upload container images. The images are loaded and started by the platform and can be called in a similar way as HTTP functions. Unlike the previous code upload mode, you can use a custom code package, which is flexible and reduces migration costs.
