Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 9/18/2018 "IBM Cloud Functions - Function as a Service (FaaS) Platform" 3.5/5 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 .
