Product Details

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.

Every coder has the intention to create an application that becomes bigger and has more users. The problem is scalability. IBM Cloud Code Engine makes it easier to grow. However, integrating your app with several other applications can be a hassle, and connecting them, especially those that are in another platform like GC/AWS/Azure, might prove to be challenging.
Updated: Now we are looking for AI enhancement. The first one to have it will dominate the market.

Code engine is used to create a microservice based on typescript. It works fine as a container to manage the microservice for updating the container fast. However, the UI in the container management pages does not support enough features. Many features need to set on your local machine to ensure it works.

IBM Cloud Code Engine functional and very easy to manipulate across its professional dashboard which leads to quality services creation. The individual transaction tracing via the IBM Cloud Code Engine is very tools for the securing the underlying infrastructure and the functions like server performance management through IBM Cloud Code Engine is also easy with excellent experience.

It is well suited when the scalability is a factor and the second most important thing about IBM Cloud Code Engine is that it is best when your team is very low. For example, I was the only one on the team and hence the obvious use of this IBM Cloud Code Engine. I recommend in such scenarios.

Code Engine is suitable for everyone, whether for small programmers for private projects or for large projects as it offers a versatile service. Very good possibility to start the container based on the request starting from 0 instances and activating it when the URL is called. you could improve the last one as it now takes about 10 seconds (a bit too much).

Startups or small businesses [organizations] which are working over Platform as [service] definitely should choose IBM Cloud Code engine as [a] serverless platform. It also helps for small execution times and provides high resource limits for operation.

It is well suited in designing the functionality of websites and maintenance of applications. It keeps on updating application performance to meet the most current advanced international standards. It has streamlined Kubernetes infrastructure and created a close working relationship among our teams. We have increased production and achieved our objectives since we can easily measure the productivity performance of all our applications.

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.

It is very well suited for anything that can be put into a container, especially if horizontal scaling is possible with the product you are building. It just works.
Also, [it is well suited] to quickly push things into production, as there is not much ceremony. Just push a container, create application and off you go. Also, it's very appropriate with uneven loads as it easily scales both up and down.

It is less appropriate when [you are using] a static computer or to retain data somehow and you don't want to use network storage of some kind or database (just save things locally).
