Note
Cloud Function is a lightweight, stateless, and reusable code execution environment that runs in the cloud, allowing developers to write and deploy code without managing server infrastructure. Here is a detailed introduction to Cloud Functions:
-
Basic Overview: Cloud Functions is a piece of lightweight, stateless, and reusable code that runs in the cloud[^1^]. There is no need to manage servers; just write and upload code to obtain the corresponding data results[^2^].
-
Main Advantages: Using Cloud Functions allows businesses and developers to focus more on code and business itself without worrying about servers or underlying operational infrastructure, and it can further decouple code, increasing its reusability[^1^][^2^][^3^].
-
Trigger Methods: Cloud Functions can be triggered in various ways, including API calls, SDK calls, and event associations with other cloud service products[^4^].
-
Development Languages: Cloud Functions supports various development tools and languages, such as Python, Node.js, PHP, Golang, Java, and Custom Runtime, allowing you to customize the runtime environment according to your needs[^4^][^5^].
-
Application Scenarios: Cloud Functions are suitable for real-time file processing and data processing scenarios, such as backend logic implementation for mobile and web applications, AI inference predictions, data ETL processing, etc.[^4^][^5^].
-
Billing Method: Cloud Functions are usually billed on a pay-as-you-go basis, charging based on the number of requests and the runtime of computing resources, which is significantly cost-effective and very friendly for developers in the startup phase[^4^].
In summary, Cloud Functions provide a convenient, efficient, and cost-controlled way for businesses and developers to build and scale applications without worrying about the management and maintenance of underlying servers.
Free Cloud Function Deployment#
It may not be free in the future.
Free is the most expensive; core important data should still be backed up.
Login – Vercel
This was the first one I used; hexo notion's next all used it when it was accessible from mainland. Later it became inaccessible.
Free
Scale & Ship Faster with a Composable Web Architecture | Netlify
Free, but there have been some registration issues recently. Verification is needed. Last night I tried again, logged in via email, and encountered that verification page again. I couldn't pass the verification, so I contacted Netlify's customer service, sent an email, and provided a screenshot of the error message. I sent the image and mentioned that I just wanted to run a twikoo. Then I got through. I registered again with a Gmail account and found the error was still the same. I haven't contacted customer service yet and plan to try again in a few days. Quite amazing. Currently accessible from mainland.
Hugging Face – The AI community building the future.
Free. The website requires magic. The service can be used from mainland.
eu-north-1.console.aws.amazon.com/console/home
Amazon's free personal plan currently.
It's best not to use magic to register; a credit card is needed. I applied for my credit card previously for CF services, and at that time, Cloudflare Zero Trust still required a credit card. Currently, I see that some people can use this service without a credit card.
Railway
Free quota of $5?
Can be used for testing.
Zeabur
Free in the past. Not recommended.
共建智能世界云底座 - 华为云
Temporarily free, with limitations. Probably similar to Tencent. Will suddenly start charging.
云计算服务 | Google Cloud
Free. Not accessible from mainland.
MemFireDB
The free version can be used for a period for testing. Requires registration with a mainland phone.
LeanCloud(美味书签)
价格 - LeanCloud
https is free, http is free. I don't understand the plans.
Azure Blob 存储定价 | Microsoft Azure
Microsoft only has a free trial.
IBM Cloud
Said to be free in some places, but I haven't seen it.
I registered before; it's hard to register, so don't use magic. A credit card is needed. Customer service is an Indian phone; you can hear the other party speaking, but they can't hear you. It's best to contact via email.
Cloudflare seems to have one too. But I don't know if it's free or paid. Requires code deployment.
I wonder if there are other free cloud function deployment platforms?
