#Alibaba Cloud - Events

Simply put, events are the things that trigger your functions to run.

If you are using Alibaba Cloud as your provider, all events in the service are anything in Alibaba Cloud that can trigger your Functions, like HTTP endpoints, OSS events, etc..

View the Alibaba Cloud Function Compute events section for a list of supported events

Upon deployment, the framework will set up the corresponding event configuration your function should listen to.

#Configuration

Events belong to each Function and can be found in the events property in serverless.yml.

# serverless.yml
functions:
  first: # Function name
    handler: index.http # Reference to file index.js & exported function 'http'
    events: # All events associated with this function
      path: /foo
      method: get

Note: Currently only one event definition per function is supported.

#Types

The Serverless Framework supports all of Alibaba Cloud Function Compute events. Instead of listing them here, we've put them in a separate section. Check out the events section for more information.

#Deploying

To deploy or update your Functions and Events run serverless deploy.
