What is IBM Cloud Code Engine?
IBM Cloud Code Engine is a fully managed, serverless platform that unifies the deployment of containers and applications including web apps, microservices, event-driven functions, or batch jobs. This serverless compute service aims to remove the burden of building, deploying, and managing workloads in Kubernetes so users can focus on writing code and not on the infrastructure that is needed to host it.
With IBM Cloud Code Engine users can run any workload serverlessly. That includes long-running containers and batch jobs as well as bursty and short-lived functions. The platform dynamically scales containers according to load, has monitoring, logging and a service mesh “built in.” The vendor states users don't need to choose between long execution times, high resource limits, private networking and scale-to-zero but instead have it all on one fully-managed platform, without needing infrastructure skills.

IBM Code Engine as your hero!
Code Engine is a managed and serverless PaaS infrastructure that lets customers focus on their core business logic while freeing them up from PaaS related concerns.
Code Engine runs on K8S and scales elastically - incorporating declarative and immutable concepts in solution deployment. It supports multiple programming models and is suitable for many problem spaces.
My customers are trying to use this platform for migrating away from Cloud Foundry appications.

- Managed Environment for partners and customers - shifting skills and speed to CSP
- A variety of programming model support
- Elastic scalability for cloud native development and speed
- Flexible consumption model
- Containerized workloads with horizontal scalability
- Here is an example - live demo walk-thru delivered to partners and community:
- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCBClYgpDFg
- Improved integration with more IBM and 3rd party provided cloud services
- Availability in more cloud data centers
- Added tutorials - specifically with distributed cloud deployments of IBM Code Engine

- Shifting risk, skills needed and speed to IBM versus customers or partners
- Separation of concerns - IBM does what it is best for while customer does what they are best for
- Flexible consumption model - customers/partners pay only when they use resources
Benefitted as designed for that very purpose.
IBM Cloud Satellite is distributed cloud platform while IBM Code Engine is serverless. They both has capabilities that are non overlapping and run on IKS/K8S.
To showcase the power and capabilities of IBM Code Engine - pre-sale and knowledge diffusion. Also to explain the various programming models that the code engine supports.
Depending on type of application being deployed - IBM Code Engine requires developer, testers, deployers, maintainers and administrators of: multi-tiered applications (presentation, middleware tier and data/backend tier applications), job type applications, event based asynchronous applications, containerized applications that are capable of running on immutable platform, etc.

- Job Workloads
- Containerized Workloads
- Event Driven Application Workloads
- Microservices based and not always on type of containerized applications
- Code engine supports a variety of use cases - multi-tiered applications, job kind workloads, containerized application workloads, event driven workloads, short and long running workloads, etc.
- Managed and elastically scalable workloads - that are cost effective and sense and react kind
No
- Scalability
- Integration with Other Systems
- Ease of Use
Since code engine runs on managed Kubernetes CaaS or PaaS - scalability is provided with risks assumed by CSP (IBM Cloud).
Integration of Code Engine service with other services offered by IBM Cloud.
Ease of use is another consideration - given so many tutorials, cloud documentation and you tube video tutorials - including deep details of architecture of IBM Code Engine

I would start looking at the capabilities of the offering - from a clean slate all over - as a point of time re-evaluation since the capabilities keep changing.

Code Engine for microservice
Our team use Code Engine to create a crawler to collect data from Sharepoint. For me, code engine is good container management tools while we want to create microservice for current project. It is easy to maintain and update the containers. However, the console in the code engine page on IBM does not support features it can support. Many features have to be set on your local machine.

Yes, the code engine help me create a container for a microservice.

Yes
As a developer, I was working on a web application that needed to handle fluctuating levels of traffic throughout the day. I had been using Docker containers deployed on a cloud infrastructure provider, and I found myself having to manually configure auto-scaling policies to handle spikes in traffic. However, managing the infrastructure and scaling policies had become time-consuming and complex.Now, I decided to migrate my application to IBM Code Engine. With Code Engine, I simply uploaded my containerized application, and Code Engine automatically handled the scaling based on incoming traffic. During peak hours, when traffic increased, Code Engine dynamically allocated additional resources to ensure optimal performance. Since Code Engine is a managed service, I no longer needed to worry about provisioning and managing servers or configuring scaling policies.Additionally, my application relied on other IBM Cloud services such as a database and a messaging queue. With Code Engine's seamless integration with IBM Cloud services, I was able to easily connect my application to these services without any additional configuration or setup.As a result, I experienced improved developer productivity, reduced operational overhead, and cost savings since I only paid for the resources consumed by my application. Overall, migrating to IBM Code Engine simplified the deployment and management of my application, allowing me to focus more on developing features and delivering value to my users.
- Ease of Use
IBM Cloud Code Engine simplifies application deployment with its managed, serverless architecture. Users upload container images or specify source code, and Code Engine handles scaling, provisioning, and management automatically. Integration with IBM Cloud services streamlines development. Automatic scaling adjusts resources based on workload demand, eliminating manual configuration. With pay-as-you-go pricing, users only pay for consumed resources, ensuring cost efficiency. Overall, Code Engine's simplicity lies in its abstraction of infrastructure complexities, easy deployment process, seamless integration, automatic scaling, and flexible pricing model, making it an ideal choice for developers seeking a hassle-free deployment experience.
IBM Cloud Code Engine offers a streamlined deployment experience but could improve in a few areas. First, enhancing monitoring and logging capabilities would provide better visibility into application performance and troubleshooting. Second, offering more customization options for deployment configurations, such as specifying resource limits or network settings, would cater to diverse application requirements. Additionally, improving documentation and providing more comprehensive tutorials would facilitate smoother onboarding for new users. Furthermore, integrating additional third-party services or expanding support for popular programming languages and frameworks would broaden the platform's appeal and utility. Lastly, optimizing pricing models to offer more flexibility or cost-saving options could attract more users and improve overall competitiveness in the market. By addressing these areas, IBM Cloud Code Engine could further enhance its value proposition and appeal to a wider range of developers and organizations.
