I’m confused about the difference between Functions and App Platform Functions.
I am trying to invoke a function deployed in my App Platform. I want to invoke it privately from my API. This way I don’t have to worry about the function being publicly exposed to the internet. But it seems like App Platform functions behave differently from normal Functions.
The documentation doesn’t mention any of this. And there are no examples.
Am I thinking about this incorrectly?

Hi there,
As far as I know, App Platform Functions are tied to your App and are exposed publicly by default, I don’t think there’s a built-in way to make them private or restrict access to just your API.
Might be worth double-checking with support just in case there’s something newer I’ve missed: https://do.co/support
And if it turns out it’s not possible, I’d suggest submitting a feature request here too: https://ideas.digitalocean.com/
