Huawei Cloud FunctionGraph

Huawei Cloud FunctionGraph is a solution designed to simplify code execution by eliminating the need for server management. According to the vendor, this product allows users to focus on their core business while benefiting from automatic scaling, event-based triggering, and pay-per-use pricing. It is aimed at small, medium, and large enterprises in various professions and industries, including software developers, IT professionals, e-commerce companies, media and entertainment industry, and Internet of Things (IoT) companies.

Key Features

No Servers to Manage: According to the vendor, code is automatically run without the need for provisioning and managing servers, allowing users to focus on their core business instead of infrastructure management.

Auto-scaling: The vendor claims that functions automatically scale to meet fluctuations in resource demands, ensuring that services remain accessible even during peaks and spikes in workload.

Event-based Triggering: FunctionGraph reportedly works with multiple cloud services (SMN, OBS, DIS, DMS) in an event-based triggering mechanism, improving development efficiency by meeting diverse service requirements.

Pay per Use: According to the vendor, users are billed based on the number of requests and code execution duration, with charges precise down to the 100 ms range. Users are not charged when their code is not running.

Real-time File Processing: Uploading files to OBS triggers functions for real-time processing, as claimed by the vendor. Functions can create image thumbnails, convert video formats, aggregate and filter data files, and perform other file operations.

Function Management: FunctionGraph provides a web-based console for managing functions, supporting multiple runtimes and function memory sizes ranging from 128 MB to 4 GB, according to the vendor. It also offers inline code editing with syntax highlighting for functions in Python and Node.js runtimes.

Multiple Runtimes: The vendor states that FunctionGraph supports functions in various runtimes, including Python, Node.js, Java, and Go.

High Availability: According to the vendor, FunctionGraph automatically schedules new function instances in case of instance errors, ensuring continuous processing of requests.

Monitoring and Logging: The vendor claims that FunctionGraph offers function metrics monitoring, including invocations, errors, throttles, and execution duration. It also provides run logs collection for easy debugging and auditing of functions.

Function Logging: According to the vendor, FunctionGraph records run logs of functions for debugging and auditing purposes.
