Functions
The compute unit on Gigadrive Network, and the settings that decide how it runs, scales, and is billed.
A Function is the compute unit on Gigadrive Network. Every request your application serves, every WebSocket connection it holds open, and every response it streams runs inside one.
You declare Functions in gigadrive.yaml, or let framework detection declare them for you. The following settings change how a Function behaves at runtime; nothing here affects your build.
Runtimes
The identifiers you can set, and what each one expects your code to look like.
Memory and CPU
Set memory per Function. CPU is fixed at one core.
Max duration
How long a single invocation may run, and what a timeout looks like to the client.
Concurrency
How one Function handles many requests at the same time.
Streaming
Response bodies reach the client as your code produces them.
WebSockets
Long-lived connections, their lifetime, and keeping a client on one target.
Sticky sessions
Pinning every request that shares a key to one copy of a Function.
Cron jobs
Invoking a Function on a schedule.
Function limits
Request and response ceilings, and the status codes behind a rejected request.
