Serverless that's Simple and Free

With Functions, CPU heavy tasks seamlessly run in the background. Simply Implement Functions directly into your application, quickly set up your infrastructure and job proccessing, and then focus on building great software, hassle free.

Start Your API

Set up your Functions API

docker run --rm --name functions --privileged -it -e "DB=bolt:///app/data/bolt.db" -v $PWD/data:/app/data -p 8080:8080 iron/functions

This command will quickly start Functions using an embedded Bolt database running on :8080.

Create an Application

An application is essentially a grouping of functions which when put together form an API. Create your app with the following code.

curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -d '{
    "app": { "name":"myapp" }
}' http://localhost:8080/v1/apps

Add Function Route

curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -d '{
    "route": {
        "path":"/hello",
        "image":"iron/hello"
    }
}' http://localhost:8080/v1/apps/myapp/routes

Call your Function

Adding a function route will automatically generate your app's URL. Click on the link to view your newly started project.

Isn't it beautiful?

curl http://localhost:8080/r/myapp/hello
