What do you like best about IBM Cloud Functions?

IBM cloud functions are based on OpenWhisk . Apache OpenWhisk’s triggers which are used to launch serverless apps deployed on its platform are based on either webhooks or polling using a predefined schedule. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM Cloud Functions?

Services like AWS Lambda are more scalable than IBM Cloud function service as it has also the support of AWS S3 . AWS Lambda and Azure Functions target their offerings as what Google Cloud and OpenWhisk can do, and they can be launched via an incoming event from one of many sources or by leveraging a schedule. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering IBM Cloud Functions:

OpenWhisk has an idea called sustains which include recovering a flood of information from a source framework. A feed can be fleeting and overseen inside the serverless capacity, or utilize an idea called associations which use an outside supplier with a determined association with the source framework Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is IBM Cloud Functions solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are using IBM to trigger a IoT application like when sensor passes certain value , IBM Function is triggered and the notification is send to cloud to perform certain actions . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about IBM Cloud Functions?

IBM Cloud Function is an excellent tool for overall data processing and representation. It is good for high demand data processing as well as documentation. It is very reliable and cost-efficient as well. Along with this, it works well with external service providers and is easy to learn even for beginners. It also has a wide variety of services for light weight micro systems. The documentation overall was easy to learn and displayed well in our system. The integration of the system was good as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM Cloud Functions?

I think there should be more UI additions so it is easier to find events and have it more organized. I think it would also be better if it included more ML additions. I think there could also be more improvements from integration in services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering IBM Cloud Functions:

Overall the product is good for scaling well and smoothly. IBM Cloud Functions also have a slight cost reduction when the application you are preparing doesn't' require said functions to be present. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is IBM Cloud Functions solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is good for application development and mobile development. It is also good for working with external service providers. For mobile development, it is especially useful for the backend portion of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
