Cloud Runtime has a wealth of features to help you build applications using the Vonage APIs. Below are a list of definitions to be familiar with:
| Definition |
|
| Platform/Computing |
The Cloud Runtime platform provides on-demand availability of computing resources. This allows you to access computing power, storage, and providers (managed services) without the need to maintain your own servers. |
| Instances |
Instances are your deployed code running on the platform. The maximum number of application instances that you can run simultaneously on the platform will depend on your Cloud Runtime plan. |
| Request rate limits |
The maximum number of requests your instances can make per second will depend on your Cloud Runtime plan. |
| DNS white labeling |
This allows for consistent branding by using a custom DNS for your instance URL. |
| Secrets management |
You can inject sensitive data (e.g. passwords or API Keys) into instances securely. |
| Instance logs |
Ability to view and search all logs produced by your instances. |
| Regionalization |
This ensures data-at-rest remains physically within a specified geographical area. Regions available: US (use1), APAC (apse1, apse2), and EU (euw1). |
| Debugger |
Ability to run debug sessions securely connected to the cloud. |
| Local development experience |
Ability to develop and debug applications on a local machine using the Cloud Runtime CLI. |
Providers (Managed services)
| Definition |
|
| State (Key-value store) |
Key-value storage accessible through the Cloud Runtime SDK, supporting primary data structures like key-value pairs, lists and hash tables. The capacity will depend on your Cloud Runtime plan. |
| Queuing |
This allows you to place serialized messages into a reliable queue for asynchronous service-to-service communications. The number of queued jobs will depend on your Cloud Runtime plan. |
| Scheduler |
Distributed scheduler available through the Cloud Runtime SDK for jobs execution. The number of scheduled jobs will depend on your Cloud Runtime plan. |
| Asset storage |
Centralized storage for cloud assets such as images, videos, and large files — accessible via the Cloud Runtime SDK. The amount of storage will depend on your Cloud Runtime plan. |
