HTTP-Triggered Function Billing

Last updated: 2022-05-20 18:49:24

    Two trigger creation methods are provided for HTTP-triggered functions: default creation and custom creation, which have different billing logic.

    Default Creation

    If you select "default creation", SCF will automatically create a basic API Gateway trigger, which provides only an access URL invisible in the console. In this case, an HTTP-triggered function is billed as follows:

    • Trigger side: Invocation is not billed, and outbound traffic is billed on the function side.
    • Function side: in addition to standard billable items, the outbound traffic is also billed.
    Note:

    A basic API Gateway instance will be created in default creation mode. You can upgrade it to the standard edition in the SCF console. After upgrade, you can use all gateway capabilities, which will be billed in the standard API Gateway billing method. The upgrade is irreversible.

    Custom creation

    If you select "custom creation", you need to select a trigger type in the SCF console and bind a created service. In this case, the current billing method applies, where the function and trigger are billed according to their own billing rules respectively. Taking a standard API Gateway trigger as an example, an HTTP-triggered function is billed as follows:

    • Trigger side: the trigger is billed according to the billing rules of the product itself.
    • Function side: the function is billed by standard billable items (invocations, resource usage, and outbound traffic), and the response traffic isn't billed on the function side.
