Function Management

Manage functions using veFaaS Code Deployer plugin

This topic describes how to manage function resources by using the veFaaS Code Deployer plugin. You can obtain function lists, bind functions, upload code, release code, and perform other operations.

Background information

The entry point to veFaaS is code. Most users develop code locally and then submit it to a code repository, which is naturally isolated from the function computing platform.

eFaaS Code Deployer is a plugin that supports IDEs based on the Monaco Editor engine, such as VSCode, Trae, and MarsCode, and IDEs based on the JetBrains IntelliJ Platform, such as GoLand, IntelliJ IDEA, WebStorm, and PyCharm. It helps you easily deploy code developed in an IDE to Volcano Engine Function as a Service (veFaaS), bridging local development and online deployment. Through this plugin, you can perform the following operations:

Configure and update the Volcano Engine access API key (AK/SK).

Obtain a list of veFaaS functions for different geographies.

Binding function.

Pull the latest code for binding functions.

Develop function code, then upload and deploy it in the function.

Support for running function code locally and debugging it.

In addition to the plugin market within the IDE, the plugin download channels also supported are as follows:

IDE Type	Plugin Download Method
VSCode	https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=volcengine.vefaas-code-deployer
Trae CN/Trae	https://open-vsx.org/extension/volcengine/vefaas-code-deployer
PyCharm	https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/25990-vefaas-code-deployer

WebStorm
Other platforms	SSO login is not supported by default, but you can still use AK/SK login and use all the features. You can download plugin packages from the above channels and install them offline.

Install the veFaaS Code Deployer plugin

Install the IDE you need locally. Take Visual Studio Code (VSCode) as an example, visit the official website and install the local VSCode IDE.
