A Function as a Service tool makes a function as a container-based service in seconds.

fx ------ Poor man's function as a service.
## Table of Contents - [Introduction](#introduction) - [Installation](#installation) - [Usage](#usage) ## Introduction fx is a tool to help you do Function as a Service on your own server, fx can make your stateless function a service in seconds, both Docker host and Kubernetes cluster supported. The most exciting thing is that you can write your functions with most programming languages. Feel free hacking fx to support the languages not listed.

For other architectures and platforms, follow instructions to [build fx from source](#buildtest). * MacOS ``` brew tap metrue/homebrew-fx brew install metrue/fx/fx ``` * Linux/Unix via cURL ```shell # Install to local directory curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/metrue/fx/master/scripts/install.sh | bash # Install to /usr/local/bin/ curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/metrue/fx/master/scripts/install.sh | sudo bash ``` fx will be installed into /usr/local/bin, sometimes you may need `source ~/.zshrc` or `source ~/.bashrc` to make fx available in `$PATH`. * Windows You can go the release page to [download](https://github.com/metrue/fx/releases) fx manually; ## Usage ``` NAME: fx - makes function as a service USAGE: fx [global options] command [command options] [arguments...] COMMANDS: up deploy a function down destroy a service list, ls list deployed services image manage image of service help, h Shows a list of commands or help for one command GLOBAL OPTIONS: --help, -h show help --version, -v print the version ``` ### Deploy function #### Local Docker environment By default, function will be deployed on localhost, make sure [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/) installed and running on your server first. then type `fx -h` on your terminal to check out basic help. ``` $ fx up --name hello ./examples/functions/JavaScript/func.js +------------------------------------------------------------------+-----------+---------------+ | ID | NAME | ENDPOINT | +------------------------------------------------------------------+-----------+---------------+ | 5b24d36608ee392c937a61a530805f74551ddec304aea3aca2ffa0fabcf98cf3 | /hello | 0.0.0.0:58328 | +------------------------------------------------------------------+-----------+---------------+ ``` #### Remote host Use `--host` to specify the target host for your function, or you can just set it to `FX_HOST` environment variable. ```shell $ fx up --host roo@ --name hello ./examples/functions/JavaScript/func.js +------------------------------------------------------------------+-----------+---------------+ | ID | NAME | ENDPOINT | +------------------------------------------------------------------+-----------+---------------+ | 5b24d36608ee392c937a61a530805f74551ddec304aea3aca2ffa0fabcf98cf3 | /hello | 0.0.0.0:58345 | +------------------------------------------------------------------+-----------+---------------+ ``` #### Kubernetes ``` $ FX_KUBECONF=~/.kube/config fx up examples/functions/JavaScript/func.js --name hello +-------------------------------+------+----------------+ | ID | NAME | ENDPOINT | +----+--------------------------+-----------------------+ | 5b24d36608ee392c937a | hello-fx | 10.0.242.75:80 | +------------------------+-------------+----------------+ ``` ### Test service then you can test your service: ```shell $ curl -v 0.0.0.0:58328 GET / HTTP/1.1 Accept: */* Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate Connection: keep-alive Host: 0.0.0.0:10001 User-Agent: HTTPie/1.0.2 HTTP/1.1 200 OK Connection: keep-alive Content-Length: 11 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 Date: Sat, 10 Aug 2019 05:28:03 GMT hello world ``` ## Use Public Cloud Kubernetes Service as infrastructure to run your functions * Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) You should create a Kubernetes cluster if you don't have one on AKS, detail document can found [here](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/aks/kubernetes-walkthrough). ```shell $ az group create --name --location eastus $ az aks create --resource-group --name myAKSCluster --node-count $ az aks get-credentials --resource-group --name ``` Then you can verify it with `kubectl`, ```shell $ kubectl get nodes NAME STATUS ROLES AGE VERSION aks-nodepool1-31718369-0 Ready agent 6m44s v1.12.8 ``` Since AKS's config will be merged into `~/.kube/config` and set to be current context after you run `az aks get-credentials` command, so you can just set KUBECONFIG to default config also, ```shell $ export FX_KUBECONF=~/.kube/config # then fx will take the config to deloy function ``` But we would suggest you run `kubectl config current-context` to check if the current context is what you want. * Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) TODO * Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) First you should create a Kubernetes cluster in your GKE, then make sure your KUBECONFIG is ready in `~/.kube/config`, if not, you can run following commands, ``` shell $ gcloud auth login $ gcloud container clusters get-credentials --zone --project ``` Then make sure you current context is GKE cluster, you can check it with command, ``` shell $ kubectl config current-context ``` Then you can deploy your function onto GKE cluster with, ```shell $ FX_KUBECONF=~/.kube/config fx up examples/functions/JavaScript/func.js --name hellojs ``` * Setup your own Kubernetes cluster ```shell fx infra create --type k3s --name fx-cluster-1 --master [email protected] --agents '[email protected],[email protected]' ``` ## Contributors Thank you to all the people who already contributed to fx!
