Service Overview

Cloud Functions is a serverless computing-based FaaS (Function as a Service) that allows you to run applications in the form of functions without the need for server provisioning. The user does not need to manage servers or containers cumbersomely for scale adjustment, and can focus on writing and deploying code for application development.

Features

• Easy and convenient development environment: Developers can easily create Function resources connected to events in various environments using a Code Editor suitable for the chosen runtime, and can write and call code easily.
• Serverless Computing: You can use a serverless type of code execution service for development in the Samsung Cloud Platform environment. The resources required to call and execute function-type applications are allocated and managed by Samsung Cloud Platform according to the scale of execution.
• Efficient Cost Management: The called Function is charged only for the actual application runtime by aggregating usage (total number of calls, total call time). Functions with low usage are adjusted to Scale-to-zero state by Cloud Functions’ Scaler, preventing resource consumption, thus enabling efficient cost management.
