 `route` (optional) allows you to overwrite the calculated route from the path
 position. You may use it to override the calculated route.
 
+`type` (optional) allows you to set the type of the route. `sync`, for functions
+whose response are sent back to the requester; or `async`, for functions that
+are started and return a task ID to customer while it executes in background.
+Default: `sync`.
+
+`memory` (optional) allows you to set a maximum memory threshold for this
+function. If this function exceeds this limit during execution, it is stopped

+`config` (optional) is a set of configurations to be passed onto the route

 `build` (optional) is an array of shell calls which are used to helping building
 the image. These calls are executed before `fnctl` calls `docker build` and
 `docker push`.
