IBM Cloud Code Engine vs. IBM Cloud Functions

Looking for a reasonably priced and dependable cloud solution, I suggest IBM Cloud Virtual Servers to everyone. For businesses needing excellent uptime and performance free from the trouble of running actual servers, it's fantastic. However, it may not be the best choice if you need hands on support for server configurations.

IBM Cloud Functions [is] not the worse product on the IBM cloud. I decided to write this review as I thought it would be balanced. I would still use functions to set up a serverless architecture where execution time is pretty quick and the code is relatively simple. I wouldn't use IBM Cloud Functions for async calls obviously, as costs could be higher. The functions documentation is lacking in terms of CI/CD, and there are unexplainable errors occurring - like the network connection that I mentioned. So I wouldn't just rely on IBM Cloud Functions too much for the entire system, but make sure it's diversified.

• Server-less platform that is automatically managed
• Pay per use - scale to zero results in an extremely cheap total cost of ownership.
• There is no need for you to set the size, deploy, or scale container clusters yourself.
• Auto scaling is always helpful and easy to use.

• Validate raw data files - check the validity of raw data input to the system, to make sure we analyze only the relevant data. The raw data stream rate is hard to be predicted, since it depends on real world activities.
• Analyze raw data - analyzing of valid raw data, described above.
• Insert data to LOCAL data base.

• the pricing structure is complicated, and the servers are expensive. I really think they should offer better pricing options and support for more languages
• sometimes the servers go down, and they take too long to respond to support tickets
• uploading documents is slow since I have to do it one by one, making the process much longer than it should be

• Billing can be a hassle, not the most responsive customer service/support team
• Handles & executes most functionalities, but other platforms offer more scalability if you're seeking consistent and stable growth

Since this capability supports a wide variety of use cases - all on non proprietary and open technology based frameworks

The product Cloud features setting was not that tricky, and the functions are easy to manipulate and provide quality Cloud services. The data connectivity through IBM Cloud Code Engine is very simple and the transfer speed is very impressive. A/B Testing using IBM Cloud Code Engine is effective performed and data security is on top.

Having only some hands-on with the other services, The cloud engine is considerably simpler to operate, with a very clear interface and management. Each application can be easily configured and altered without needing to know anything about different subscription tiers or the system's inner workings. But in the case of Lambda, Depending on the situation, Code Engine will fetch your source code and generate the container image. Code Engine supports both Dockerfile and the Cloud-Native Build bundle, which is preferable. It is possible to create applications that send messages based on events.

AWS Lambda is 100 times more robust than IBM cloud functions. They essentially do the same thing, but AWS works. AWS is stable. we have had epic failures with cloud functions. Support was horrible. We literally had an open ticket with them for 2 months and it literally went nowhere. They said it could do 100 calls a minute. We proved over and over that we couldn't get above 20 without getting failures. They had NO explanation whatsoever. The ticket got closed because we were tired of asking them questions and getting no understandable or usable response.

• IBM maintains the same high degree of security that has been essential for its operations since the dawn of the computing market while streamlining data governance in a real cloud model as a dependable business partner for organizations all across the globe.
• Apart from providing the instruments needed for efficient work the user friendly interface helps non-IT professionals to understand the system in a limited period of time.
• The latest IBM Cloud Code Engine design is based on an innovative approach to buying and bundling of products.

• Definitely has positive impact due to the pay only when used feature
• Lightweight cloud services help with scaling without high investment in infrastructure
