this somewhat minimally comes up in profiling, but it was an itch i needed to scratch. this does 10x less allocations and is 3x faster (with 3x less bytes), and they're the small painful kind of allocation. we're only reading these strings so the uses of unsafe are fine (I think audit me). the byte array we're casting to a string at the end is also heap allocated and does escape. I only count 2 allocations, but there's 3 (`hash.Sum` and `make([]string)`), using a pool of sha1 hash.Hash shaves 120 byte and an alloc off so seems worth it (it's minimal). if we set a max size of config vals with a constant we could avoid that allocation and we could probably find a checksum package that doesn't use the `hash.Hash` that would speed things up a little (no dynamic dispatch, doesn't allocate in Sum) but there's not one I know of in stdlib. master: ``` ✗: go test -run=yodawg -bench . -benchmem -benchtime 1s -cpuprofile cpu.out goos: linux goarch: amd64 pkg: github.com/fnproject/fn/api/agent BenchmarkSlotKey 200000 6068 ns/op 696 B/op 31 allocs/op PASS ok github.com/fnproject/fn/api/agent 1.454s ``` now: ``` ✗: go test -run=yodawg -bench . -benchmem -benchtime 1s -cpuprofile cpu.out goos: linux goarch: amd64 pkg: github.com/fnproject/fn/api/agent BenchmarkSlotKey 1000000 1901 ns/op 168 B/op 3 allocs/op PASS ok github.com/fnproject/fn/api/agent 2.092s ``` once we have versioned apps/routes we don't need to build a sha or sort configs so this will get a lot faster. anyway, mostly funsies here... my life is that sad now.

Welcome
Fn is an event-driven, open source, Functions-as-a-Service (FaaS) compute platform that you can run anywhere. Some of its key features:
- Open Source
- Native Docker: use any Docker container as your Function
- Supports all languages
- Run anywhere
- Public, private and hybrid cloud
- Import Lambda functions and run them anywhere
- Easy to use for developers
- Easy to manage for operators
- Written in Go
- Simple yet powerful extensibility
The fastest way to experience Fn is to follow the quickstart below, or you can jump right to our full documentation, API Docs, or hit us up in our Slack Community!
Quickstart
Pre-requisites
- Docker 17.06 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
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 - Linux and MacOS
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 - Linux, MacOS and Windows
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. If you are on a Linux system where the SELinux security policy is set to "Enforcing", such as Oracle Linux 7, 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. Our CLI tool will help you get started super quickly.
Create hello world function:
fn init --runtime go hello
This will create a simple function in the directory hello, so let's cd into it:
cd hello
Feel free to check out the files it created or just keep going and look at it later.
# Set your Docker Hub username
export FN_REGISTRY=<DOCKERHUB_USERNAME>
# Run your function locally
fn run
# Deploy your functions to your local Fn server
fn deploy --app myapp --local
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. Try updating the function code in func.go then deploy it again to see the change.
