alicloud-compute-fc-serverless-devs is a Claude agent skill that builds event-driven APIs and background jobs on Alibaba Cloud Function Compute for webhooks, ETL pipelines, and agent tools without managing servers.

About

alicloud-compute-fc-serverless-devs is a cinience/alicloud-skills skill for Alibaba Cloud Function Compute serverless development. It helps developers create event-driven HTTP APIs, webhook handlers, ETL jobs, and agent tool endpoints without provisioning or patching servers manually. The skill guides agent sessions through Function Compute project setup, trigger wiring, and deploy workflows suited to low-ops backends that scale on demand. Developers reach for alicloud-compute-fc-serverless-devs when microservices, async workers, or agent-callable tools should run as managed functions rather than long-lived VMs. Pair it with sibling alicloud storage and observability skills when functions must read OSS objects or emit logs to SLS during production operation. The catalog lists 271 installs on skills.sh for this Function Compute serverless developer skill in the alicloud-skills compute collection. Define concurrency limits, cold-start budgets, and dead-letter handling before wiring production webhooks or agent tools.

  • Function Compute service and runtime setup
  • HTTP, timer, and event triggers
  • Layers, environment variables, and quotas
  • CI deploy and version aliases
  • Cold-start and concurrency tuning

How do you build serverless APIs on Alibaba Function Compute?

Build event-driven APIs and background jobs on Alibaba Cloud Function Compute without managing servers, ideal for webhooks, ETL, and agent tools.

Who is it for?

Backend developers building webhook handlers, ETL workers, or agent tools on Alibaba Cloud who want Function Compute serverless patterns without VM management.

Skip if: Teams requiring always-on long-running processes on self-managed ECS instances instead of event-driven Function Compute functions.

When should I use this skill?

A developer asks to build serverless APIs, webhooks, ETL jobs, or agent tools on Alibaba Cloud Function Compute without managing servers.

What you get

Function Compute function definitions, event trigger wiring, serverless API endpoints, and deploy configuration for webhooks, ETL, and agent tools.

  • Serverless function code layout
  • Trigger configuration
  • Deploy workflow steps

Function Compute (FC 3.0) Serverless Devs

Goals

  • Install and validate Serverless Devs.
  • Configure credentials, initialize example project, deploy, invoke, and remove.
  • Provide CLI flow with Python runtime example.

Quick Start Flow

1. Install Node.js (14+) and npm. 2. Install and validate Serverless Devs. 3. Configure credentials via guided setup. 4. Initialize example project and enter directory. 5. Deploy, invoke, and optionally remove.

Install Serverless Devs (npm)

Global install (requires sudo):

sudo npm install @serverless-devs/s -g
sudo s -v

No-sudo alternative (recommended in restricted environments):

npx -y @serverless-devs/s -v

Configure Credentials (guided)

sudo s config add

Choose Alibaba Cloud (alibaba), provide AccountID, AccessKeyID, AccessKeySecret, and set alias.

Configure Credentials (command)

Use CLI args to configure credential alias in one command (non-interactive):

s config add -a default --AccessKeyID <AK> --AccessKeySecret <SK> -f

If using environment variables, inject them into the command (example):

s config add -a default -kl AccessKeyID,AccessKeySecret -il ${ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_ID},${ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET} -f

Or use Serverless Devs convention JSON environment variable (example):

export default_serverless_devs_key='{\"AccountID\":\"<AccountID>\",\"AccessKeyID\":\"<AK>\",\"AccessKeySecret\":\"<SK>\"}'

Reference in s.yaml:

access: default_serverless_devs_key

Initialize Example (Python)

sudo s init start-fc3-python
cd start-fc3-python

Initialization creates s.yaml, code/, and readme.md; edit code/index.py for function logic.

Deploy, Invoke, and Remove

sudo s deploy
sudo s invoke -e "test"
sudo s remove

Custom Domain Binding (Avoid Default Domain Forced Download)

Note: FC default domain adds Content-Disposition: attachment, causing browser downloads.
Use a custom domain to avoid this behavior.

Step 1: Configure CNAME for your domain

Configure DNS CNAME to FC public CNAME:

<account_id>.<region_id>.fc.aliyuncs.com

Example (Hangzhou region):

1629965279769872.cn-hangzhou.fc.aliyuncs.com

Note: if using apex domain (e.g. animus.run) and DNS provider does not support CNAME at apex, use ALIAS/ANAME records, or switch to a subdomain such as www.animus.run.

Step 2: Create custom domain in Serverless Devs

Option A: add fc3-domain resource in s.yaml:

resources:
  newsDomain:
    component: fc3-domain
    props:
      region: cn-hangzhou
      domainName: animus.run
      protocol: HTTP
      routeConfig:
        routes:
          - functionName: honnold-taipei101-news
            qualifier: LATEST
            methods:
              - GET
              - HEAD
            path: /*

region is example default; ask user when the best region is unclear.

Then deploy:

printf 'y\n' | npx -y @serverless-devs/s deploy

Option B: use Console (Advanced Features > Custom Domains) to create and route custom domain.

Common Errors

  • DomainNameNotResolved: domain not resolved to correct FC CNAME.
  • InvalidICPLicense: mainland China regions require ICP filing associated with Alibaba Cloud.

References

  • See references/install_serverless_devs_and_docker.md for detailed official steps.
  • HTTP trigger limitations and response header behavior (default domain enforces Content-Disposition: attachment)

Validation

mkdir -p output/alicloud-compute-fc-serverless-devs
echo "validation_placeholder" > output/alicloud-compute-fc-serverless-devs/validate.txt

Pass criteria: command exits 0 and output/alicloud-compute-fc-serverless-devs/validate.txt is generated.

Output And Evidence

  • Save artifacts, command outputs, and API response summaries under output/alicloud-compute-fc-serverless-devs/.
  • Include key parameters (region/resource id/time range) in evidence files for reproducibility.

Prerequisites

  • Configure least-privilege Alibaba Cloud credentials before execution.
  • Prefer environment variables: ALICLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_ID, ALICLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET, optional ALICLOUD_REGION_ID.
  • If region is unclear, ask the user before running mutating operations.

Workflow

1) Confirm user intent, region, identifiers, and whether the operation is read-only or mutating. 2) Run one minimal read-only query first to verify connectivity and permissions. 3) Execute the target operation with explicit parameters and bounded scope. 4) Verify results and save output/evidence files.
