It would be a good solution for running serverless applications. Because infrastructure setup and maintenance expenses can be avoided, the investment will pay for itself. The time to value is short, allowing IT to respond to business demands quickly. It aided us in customizing security as well as operating a personal project using to autoscale up and down approach. Also, because there isn't much hassle, items can be pushed into production as soon as possible. Simply push a container, create an application, and you're ready to go. But, It is less suited when you have a static machine or need to keep data in some way and do not want to utilize network storage or a database.

  • the pricing structure is complicated, and the servers are expensive. I really think they should offer better pricing options and support for more languages
  • sometimes the servers go down, and they take too long to respond to support tickets
  • uploading documents is slow since I have to do it one by one, making the process much longer than it should be

What impresses me most about IBM Cloud Code Engine is the container workload management capability and the Cloud services and dataflow monitoring functionalities. Data security and network security control via IBM Cloud Code Engine is quite excellent and very responsive data integration functions and the first deployment is not very technical.

  • We have saved a lot of time on trouble shooting. It's clear how it works. It's "just" kubernetes..
