Functions use cases

Scaleway Serverless Functions can be used in many use cases:

• Automation for specific tasks
• Integration with your ecosystem to help scale specific routes of your code
• CI/CD integration
• Data analysis and processing
• Optimizing infrastructures with scaling from, and to zero
• Decoupling software, and more.

For a better understanding of Serverless Functions, we provide real-world examples in our serverless-examples repository. Here are some specific cases:

Node - Interact with databases
