Cloud Functions

Developer features

Developers benefit from predictable low latencies

Functions offers Provisioned Concurrency, enabling developers to keep the runtime ready to accept calls and execute with subsecond latencies.

Developers don’t need to manage any infrastructure

Just write and deploy your code. Oracle will automatically provision and scale resources.

Productivity for new and experienced developers

Functions automatically packages code as Docker images. Advanced developers can use Dockerfiles, install native libraries, and customize the function runtime environment.

Support for various programming languages

With support for Python, Go, Java, Node, and other languages, developers can choose the most appropriate language for each task and easily integrate their serverless applications.

Built on open standards

Functions is an open platform built on the Apache 2.0 licensed Fn Project, Docker, and CloudEvents. Customers can use the managed service, or self-managed, open source-based Fn clusters deployed on-premises or on any cloud.

Edit code without leaving Functions

Launch Code Editor directly from the Functions Console to easily edit and deploy Functions code and automatically save code changes.

Security and management

Fine-grained access control

Administrators can provide fine-grained access control for managing, invoking, and securely accessing Functions using Oracle Identity and Access Management policies.

Code isolation

Functions can run your code in a secure and isolated manner. By using distinct compute and networking resources, the service provides strict separation of code execution across customers.

Secure authentication and secrets management

Use Vault to store sensitive configuration data, such as passwords and API keys, as secrets. Write functions using these secrets for securely authenticating against databases, storage, and other services.

Troubleshooting capabilities

Use Functions with logs, metrics and traces to monitor, troubleshoot, and get insights into your code.

Simple pricing

Pay based on invocations and execution time, at a consistent rate across all regions. Get two million free invocations per month.

Integrations

Out-of-the-box support for the CloudEvents standard

Functions work with all the Oracle Cloud services that generate events including Storage and Autonomous Database. Compatibility with CloudEvents provides interoperability with the cloud native ecosystem.

Serverless APIs

Use API Gateway to expose Functions as APIs. API Gateway provides RESTful endpoints with security and rate-limiting for API calls, while Functions provides a fully managed backend service to serve APIs.

Notifications triggers

Automate operations by using Notifications to trigger Functions when resource utilization is high, or when a resource becomes unavailable.

Data streaming triggers

Process streams of data by using Service Connectors with Streaming as a source and Functions as a task or destination.

Logging triggers

Automatically trigger Functions to analyze logs, update tickets in systems like Jira and Service Cloud, and export logs to third-party security analysis and monitoring tools.

Extend business processes

Connect and extend Oracle SaaS applications, such as Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Human Capital Management (HCM), to easily deliver capabilities that uniquely meet your requirements.

Continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) with Functions

Use Visual Builder Studio (previously called Developer Cloud) to automatically build and deploy functions as part of a CI/CD process.
