Cloud Function Overview ​

Cloud functions are the basic unit of AirCode. With our WebIDE, you don't need to care about the tedious things like infrastructure and environment setup, and online operation. Just open the webpage and write your Node.js code, then debug it and deploy it as an accessible back-end API. The API can be easily used to provide data to the front-end, valid user, integrate Slack bots and Webhooks, etc.

Cloud functions are built upon serverless, with automatic scaling capabilities, it helps you quickly deal with traffic peaks and save resources.

New to cloud functions?

If you have never developed a cloud function before, it is recommended to follow our Quick Start to learn how to use it.

Essential ​

Develop Online

Use WebIDE to develop cloud functions. Learn the function's parameters, returned value, error handling and timezone, etc.

Debug Online

Learn how to debug your code online, pass params and view the results, and how to use online requests to make debugging easier.

Deployment

Deploy functions online, generate accessible URL addresses, and learn how to view and manage versions.

Load Other Functions

In the same application, use require to load other cloud functions and implement function calls between them..

Invoke Functions

Invoke functions via SDK or HTTP, including a description of timeout and CORS policies.

Online Logs

Get real-time logs when the function is running, and filter log by time, keywords, and others to facilitate troubleshooting.

Using NPM

Learn how to use NPM to find, install, and manage your app's dependencies.

Scheduled Tasks

There is no need to write Cronjob expressions, as configuring scheduled tasks is as easy as scheduling events on a calendar.
