With binlog enabled, MySQL needs functions marked DETERMINISTIC / READS SQL DATA, or log_bin_trust_function_creators=1.
Common causes
- Function missing characteristics
- Importing routines on a replicated/managed server
⚡ Quick fix
- Add DETERMINISTIC / READS SQL DATA to the function
- Set log_bin_trust_function_creators=1 (parameter group on RDS)

MySQL
CREATE FUNCTION f(x INT) RETURNS INT DETERMINISTIC RETURN x * 2;
