This page lists Function Compute releases in 2017, including new features, integrations, runtime support, and region availability.
December 2017
| Feature | Type | Description |
|---|
| IoT Platform integration | New | Function Compute can now serve as the backend service for IoT Platform, eliminating delayed data processing, complex architectures, and manual scaling in IoT and smart home scenarios. For more information, see Overview of IoT Platform communication modes. |
| Console redesign | New | The Function Compute console is redesigned with billing data, category-based navigation, a simplified layout, and a redesigned editing page that uses a navigation drawer. Multiple operations can be performed on each page. The updated console surfaces service calls, recent triggers, template details, and product updates in a more compact interface. |
| Function Compute entry point in the OSS console | Optimized | An entry point for Function Compute is now available in the Object Storage Service (OSS) console. Trigger events for a function can be managed in Function Compute, while events defined in an OSS bucket can be managed under the bucket. For more information, see Deployment Package. |
| China (Shenzhen) region | Optimized | Function Compute is now available in the China (Shenzhen) region. |
November 2017
| Feature | Type | Description |
|---|
| Python 3.0 runtime support | New | The Python 3.0 development environment is now supported. For more information, see Overview. |
October 2017
| Feature | Type | Description |
|---|
| Simple Log Service (SLS) triggers | New | SLS triggers are now supported. Use Function Compute as the backend service for Simple Log Service to cleanse, compress, and extract logs, or to schedule event processing. For more information, see Trigger overview and Overview. |
September 2017
| Feature | Type | Description |
|---|
| Tablestore integration | New | Function Compute can now be triggered when Tablestore tables are created, modified, queried, or deleted, enabling intelligent data processing. For more information, see Use Function Compute. |
| Function Compute for commercial use | New | Function Compute is now available for commercial use. It provides a serverless, fully managed environment where you write code, set execution conditions, and let the platform handle scaling, servers, message delivery, and load balancing. Functions run concurrently at scale, trigger on events, are loosely coupled with automatic capacity configuration, and are billed only for execution duration. |
| China (Hangzhou) region | New | Function Compute is now available in the China (Hangzhou) region. |
| Four main templates | New | Four main templates are available for key features such as tagging, crawler identification algorithms, and API Gateway response strings. |
July 2017
| Feature | Type | Description |
|---|
| OSS template code samples | New | Three sets of OSS template code are available for developers to customize, reducing training costs and accelerating development. |
| Python 2.7 runtime support | New | The Python 2.7 development environment is now supported. For more information, see Overview. |
June 2017
| Feature | Type | Description |
|---|
| API Gateway integration | New | Function Compute can now serve as a backend service for API Gateway. |
May 2017
| Feature | Type | Description |
|---|
GetFunctionCode API operation | New | The GetFunctionCode operation is added to retrieve the function code for the current version, making error analysis easier. |
| Java and Node.js SDK | New | SDKs are now available for Java and Node.js, so you can invoke functions directly from your applications. |
April 2017
| Feature | Type | Description |
