FreeRange Functions

Serverless code that roams where it likes

Cloud & InfrastructureFreeFree forever
FR

Overview

Run functions on demand with no servers to manage. They start fast, scale to zero, and wander off to peck at something else when idle.

FreeRange Functions is part of our Cloud & Infrastructure line, and it plays nicely with CloudCluck and Brooder, so you can adopt it one perch at a time. Store, serve, and scale from a coop that never needs mucking out.

Teams usually start with the free Chick plan, move to Hen when the flock grows past a handful, and graduate to Rooster once the security team wants audit logs. The upgrade is one click, and nobody needs to molt.

Key features

  • Multi-coop replication keeps your eggs in more than one basket, as advised by every proverb.
  • Terraform, Pulumi, and plain old shell scripts all work. Even the scripts that scratch the dirt.
  • Free-range networking: packets roam freely within the VPC (Very Pleasant Coop).
  • Billing is metered per peck, and you can see every peck in the console.
  • Encrypted at rest, in transit, and when it is just thinking about leaving.

What the flock says

★★★★★ Foghorn F. Principal Architect, Leghorn Logic

Does exactly what it says. Rare enough that we put it in the all-hands deck.

★★★★★ Dolores D. Data Scientist, Nestle-ish

We replaced three tools with FreeRange Functions and nobody has asked where the old ones went.

★★★★☆ Maurice M. Staff Engineer, Barnyard Labs

The docs are shockingly good. We tested them by handing them to an intern.

Frequently asked questions

Where is my data stored?

In the coop you pick at sign-up. Data never leaves that region unless you tell it to. Chickens like to know where they live.

Who do I call when something goes wrong?

Our 24/7 clucking support line at (06) 123CLUCK. Please do not call during the 3 p.m. egg break, because we do not pick up.

Is FreeRange Functions secure?

It is protected by CoopGuard at the perimeter and FeatherLock at rest, and audited annually by TalonAudit. Also, we have never lost a chicken. To our knowledge.
