Scalable and Serverless Data Ingestion with OCI Functions

Scalable and Serverless Data Ingestion with OCI Functions

In this article, we will leverage OCI’s capabilities to the fullest, embracing the following principles: Scalability Resilience Flexibility Security Automation The “loadfileintoadw” project is located in the same GitHub repository used so far to discuss OCI Function fn-examples . This example will help you understand how to integrate multiple OCI services and make the most of the cloud provider. We will simulate a series of weather stations that will write a CSV file with sampling data (temperature, humidity, etc....

Accessing an Autonomous Database from an OCI Function

Accessing an Autonomous Database from an OCI Function

After seeing how to create a custom image, in the previous case where we installed the Oracle client, now let’s try to use this custom image to connect to an Oracle database. We will make the most of the cloud capabilities. In this example, we will use the Infrastructure as Code (IaC) methodology to provide a real example of an easily replicable architecture for everyone. The “toautonomous” project is in the same GitHub repository used so far to talk about OCI Function fn-examples ....

OCI Function with a custom image

OCI Function with a custom image

As we have seen from my other articles , it is possible to use the FN project with different programming languages using predefined container images, the officially supported languages are: go java Node.js ruby Python C# you can do it with the runtime directive, for example: fn init --runtime python test the command will produce a func.yaml file of this type 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 schema_version: 20180708 name: hello version: 0....

Trigger a function by Object Storage

Trigger a function by Object Storage

The OCI Function service allows you to run code on infrastructure that you don’t have to manage. In this link I presented a basic example of an OCI function developed in Python. A very interesting feature is that functions can be automatically invoked by other services through an event, so we can also execute code in response to an action in the OCI cloud, or use a function as a link between multiple cloud services that can form a complex workload....

OCI Functions a Python example

OCI Functions a Python example

The OCI Function service allows you to run code on an infrastructure that you don’t have to manage, in a scalable and automated way. This concept is called “serverless” because the end user will no longer have to worry about managing any infrastructure to run his own code. OCI implements what is the FN open source project, the project has been integrated with Oracle cloud services and is based on the execution of code inside a container, therefore it can potentially support any programming language and any type of container on x86 architecture, moreover, it is not strictly linked with the Oracle infrastructure and you can easily switch between different FN environments....
