The Nine Providers That Matter Most And How They Stack Up
oracle: Forrester's Take
our evaluation found that oracle (see Figure 12):
› Has good programming language support and function isolation. oracle Functions are built on
the open source Fn project.
3
This gives oracle Functions good programming language support and
function isolation at the container level. Built-in support for oracle identity and access management
adds role-based security to function execution.
› Needs to improve developer experience and availability. While oracle cloud Functions are
generally available, current default limits are set to 10 applications and 20 functions.
4
developers
must request an explicit increase to these limits as they scale their efforts. available developer
documentation and sample code are also currently sparse.
› Is a potential fit for teams committed to the oracle cloud. development teams with strategic
commitments to the oracle cloud should watch the evolution of oracle cloud Functions. We
expect to see better support for the service in 2020.
