• Function as a service

• So this docker thing, as well as ​ function as a service, FaaS, ​ seems to getting some traction. It would be nice if we could have our own ​ FaaS ​ infrastructure in place instead of paying Amazon for it. There are some alternatives out there e.g. OpenFaaS. But we have a bad case of “Not Invented Here” syndrome, so we’d rather build it ourselves.

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes.

What things you need to install the software and how to install them

• install GOLANG
• govendors - To manage dependecies
• install Docker
• Post-installation steps for Linux
• Install Docker Compose

$ git clone https://github.com/rai-prashanna/faas/
$ cd <Working Directory>/faas/
$ docker-compose build --no-cache
$ docker-compose up
$ use this url on web browser (http://localhost:8080/function/:factorialservice?num=3 or http://localhost:8080/function/:digservice?url=www.wwe.com)

http://localhost:8080/function/:factorialservice?num=3
http://localhost:8080/function/:digservice?url=www.wwe.com

$ In first attempt of docker-compose up command,
$ the process might be very slow. Since it downloads all dependencies from remote.
$ So be patient to let docker-compose build images and docker-compose to run all services
