Fn Project

CircleCI GoDoc Go Report Card

Fn is an event-driven, open source, functions-as-a-service compute platform that you can run anywhere. Some of it's key features:

Prequisites

  • Docker 17.05 or later installed and running
  • A Docker Hub account (Docker Hub) (or other Docker-compliant registry)
  • Log Docker into your Docker Hub account: docker login

Quickstart

Install CLI tool

The command line tool isn't required, but it sure makes things a lot easier. There are a few options to install it:

1. Homebrew - MacOS

If you're on a Mac and use Homebrew, this one is for you:

brew install fn
2. Shell script

This one works on Linux and MacOS (partially on Windows):

curl -LSs https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fnproject/cli/master/install | sh

This will download a shell script and execute it. If the script asks for a password, that is because it invokes sudo.

3. Download the bin

Head over to our releases and download it.

Run Fn Server

Now fire up an Fn server:

fn start

This will start Fn in single server mode, using an embedded database and message queue. You can find all the configuration options here. If you are on Windows, check here.

Your First Function

Functions are small but powerful blocks of code that generally do one simple thing. Forget about monoliths when using functions, just focus on the task that you want the function to perform.

First, create an empty directory called hello and cd into it.

The following is a simple Go program that outputs a string to STDOUT. Copy and paste the code below into a file called func.go.

package main

import (
  "fmt"
)

func main() {
  fmt.Println("Hello from Fn!")
}

Now run the following CLI commands:

# Initialize your function
# This detects your runtime from the code above and creates a func.yaml
fn init

# Set your Docker Hub username
export FN_REGISTRY=<DOCKERHUB_USERNAME>

# Test your function
# This will run inside a container exactly how it will on the server
fn run

# Deploy your functions to the Fn server (default localhost:8080)
# This will create a route to your function as well
fn deploy --app myapp

Now you can call your function:

curl http://localhost:8080/r/myapp/hello
# or:
fn call myapp /hello

Or in a browser: http://localhost:8080/r/myapp/hello

That's it! You just deployed your first function and called it. To update your function you can update your code and run fn deploy myapp again.

User Interface

We also have an open source graphical user interface for Fn. It's very easy to use, simply run the command below:

docker run --rm -it --link functions:api -p 4000:4000 -e "API_URL=http://api:8080" fnproject/ui
