Cloud Function

OOMOL Cloud Function is a serverless computing platform that allows you to deploy your OOMOL workflows as production-ready APIs without managing infrastructure. Focus on writing code, and let OOMOL handle the rest.

Overview

OOMOL Cloud Function transforms your workflow blocks into scalable cloud services with just one click. You write the function blocks, and OOMOL takes care of deployment, scaling, and operations.

Key Benefits

• Painless Generation: Deploy your workflows instantly without complex configurations
• Pay-as-you-go: Only pay for actual usage, no upfront server costs
• Zero Maintenance: No need to manage servers, environments, or scaling
• Auto-scaling: Automatically handles traffic spikes and scaling

Three Deployment Modes

1. Publish as Library

Share your blocks with the community or compose them into more complex workflows.

Use Cases:

• Share reusable components with other developers
• Build modular functionality that others can extend
• Create building blocks for community innovation

How it Works:

• Package your blocks with clear inputs and outputs
• Publish to the OOMOL community library
• Others can discover and use your blocks in their workflows

2. Deploy as Cloud Function

One-click deployment to serverless infrastructure with automatic scaling.

Use Cases:

• Create REST API endpoints for your applications
• Build backend services without managing servers
• Provide stable, production-ready APIs to users

Features:

• Automatic HTTPS endpoints
• Built-in load balancing
• Zero-downtime deployments
• Automatic scaling based on demand

Example:

# Your workflow automatically gets a public API endpoint
https://api.oomol.com/v1/your-function-id

3. Provide for AI (MCP)

Publish your functions via Model Context Protocol (MCP) for AI agents to use.

Use Cases:

• Let AI assistants call your functions directly
• Create tools that AI agents can discover and use
• Connect your code to the intelligent world

How it Works:

• Your function is exposed via MCP protocol
• AI agents can discover and call your function
• Seamless integration with Claude, ChatGPT, and other AI assistants

Pricing

OOMOL Cloud Function uses a simple pay-per-use pricing model:

• No fixed costs: No monthly server fees or upfront payments
• Usage-based billing: Pay only for actual function invocations
• Transparent pricing: Clear pricing per API call
• Free tier available: Get started with generous free usage limits

Visit OOMOL Console for detailed pricing information.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• An OOMOL account
• OOMOL Studio installed on your computer
• A workflow ready to deploy

Deployment Steps

1. Create Your Workflow

   • Build your workflow in OOMOL Studio
   • Test it locally to ensure it works correctly
   • Define clear input and output parameters

2. Configure Deployment

   • Open the deployment panel in OOMOL Studio
   • Select "Cloud Function" as deployment target
   • Configure function settings (timeout, memory, etc.)

3. Deploy

   • Click "Deploy to Cloud"
   • Wait for deployment to complete
   • Get your function's API endpoint

4. Test Your Function

   • Use the provided endpoint to test your function
   • Monitor usage and performance in OOMOL Console
   • Share the API with your users

Example Deployment

Here's a simple example of calling a deployed cloud function:

curl -X POST https://api.oomol.com/v1/your-function-id \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -d '{"input": "your data"}'

Management

OOMOL Console

Access OOMOL Console to:

• View all your deployed functions
• Monitor usage and performance metrics
• Manage API keys and access control
• Check billing and usage statistics
• Update function configurations
• View logs and debugging information

Monitoring

• Real-time metrics: Track invocations, latency, and errors
• Usage analytics: Understand how your functions are being used
• Error tracking: Quickly identify and fix issues
• Performance insights: Optimize function execution time

Best Practices

Function Design

1. Keep functions focused: Each function should do one thing well
2. Define clear interfaces: Document input and output parameters
3. Handle errors gracefully: Return meaningful error messages
4. Optimize for cold starts: Minimize initialization time

Security

1. Use API keys: Protect your functions with authentication
2. Validate inputs: Always validate and sanitize user inputs
3. Set rate limits: Prevent abuse with appropriate rate limiting
4. Monitor usage: Watch for unusual patterns or potential attacks

Performance

1. Optimize dependencies: Only include necessary libraries
2. Cache when possible: Reduce redundant computations
3. Use appropriate timeouts: Set realistic execution time limits
4. Test at scale: Verify performance under expected load
