Show HN: Functions as a Service (FaaS) on Docker Swarm

This seems like a really interesting approach. Just don't take it too far or you'll end up with something like this ;-) http://thedailywtf.com/articles/the-inner-json-effect

If you'd like to experiment with an open-source FaaS server that doesn't require Docker, I'd suggest checking out: https://github.com/stackvana/microcule

Thanks for linking out - having looked at the project, the first thing I would do is to host it in Docker :)

There are some interesting parallels in the examples. One thing which I think is still too hard is getting HTTPs-style web hooks for AWS events. Any privately-hosted/hybrid solution would need a way to make that kind of integration easy.

It's an interesting idea. Will it scale down to running all of the functions within a single process though (aka, like a singular monolithic app)?

I admit that I've not done any reading on this, so I am not sure whether I am thinking about it in the right way.

I am investigating Variable Assignment as a Service.

Sorry.
