Elastic Compute with Salesforce Functions

on YouTube ↗22m

" summary

Salesforce Functions provide short‑lived serverless executables written in Node or Java that run inside Salesforce trusted boundary and can read and write Salesforce records; the demo computes the five closest schools from a JSON of thousands so heavy CPU work moves out of Apex. Deploys use sf CLI to push to a managed compute environment built on Kubernetes and Cloud Native Buildpacks and follows CloudEvents. Invocation currently happens from Apex synchronously or asynchronously and functions can also run locally for testing.
