Description
Weâve been devoting significant time to making PiCloud a useful utility outside of the Python ecosystem. The first feature we have to showcase this is the ability to publish a Python function to a URL. There are a few reasons you might want to do this:To call Python functions from a programming language other than Python. For example, if youâre integrating the PiCloud platform into a Java codebase, or even into a smartphone application (Android or iPhone).To use PiCloud from Google AppEngine, since our cloud client library is not supported on GAE.Because youâre tired of setting up web application projects when what you really need is a scalable RPC system.In this post, weâll give you your first taste of publishing functions on the web.
