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.

IBM Cloud Engine is being used at SiB Solutions to host our cloud services. It helps us concentrate on the task of implementing a good service. [It also] takes away most of the infrastructure management, allowing us to provide a stable and fast service while also developing it further in an efficient way. What it especially does is free us from having to learn a lot of different services for each different need we have. [This] is based on open technologies that we already know, and it can take the form we need it to for the different cases we have.
  • Very predictable in how it behaves
  • Extremely easy to use
  • Certificates automatically taken care of
  • Python API lacking
  • Some unclear errors (for example: many revisions in a project [are] not reported, and [it] just doesn't allow more revisions)
  • No possibility to automatically update an application when pushing a new version of a container
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).


  • Easy of use
  • Security
  • Predictability
  • Flexibility

  • [One] positive is that we have one tool to learn (and a simple one) for all kinds of deployment. We need less people to maintain the system.
  • We have saved a lot of time on trouble shooting. It's clear how it works. It's "just" Kubernetes..
Cloud engine is much easier to use, and gives a very clear interface and control. Each application can be configured differently with ease and changed without having to know anything about different subscription levels or inner workings of the system. Just change the resource numbers and you're done. Also there is no maintenance or even that much planning to do (making sure there are the right amount of resources in a cluster..). This is all taken care of.

IBM cloud engine provides a completely managed non-server program. It helps in deploying containers and application based on websites, event driving functions, and micro-servers. It has helped us in managing Kubernetes workloads.
  • Doesn't take long execution time.
  • Private networking.
  • Highly scalable.
  • Automatic managed server-less platform
  • Allows autoscaling.
  • Expensive
  • Low security with TLS.
  • Documentation could be more detailed.
  • Some features are not described at all.
It helped us in customizing security and running a personal project with the autoscale up and down method.
  • Fully managed server-less platform.
  • Provides security.
  • We can run container images and jobs.
