# Funkos What, Why, How
A funko is the equivalent of a AWS lambda. It's the unit
of deployment for FaaSO.
A funko is a folder containing a metadata `funko.yml` file
and source code in any language supported by a *runtime*
Think of a runtime as a template that gets merged with yout
funko and produces a full containerized application.
FaaSO can use your funko and its runtime to create a Docker image.
That docker image can be built in a server by the FaaSO proxy or it can be
built locally just like any docker image.

Then we can start it locally or, using the proxy, in the server.

```
How is that application reached? FaaSO will usually run the image
in a *opinionated* way. All funkos listen in port 3000 in their own
container instances, and they are all segregated into a network called
faaso-net.
2024-06-30 23:47:00 +00:00
The proxy is the only container exposed to the host network, everything
else needs to be accessed through it.
2024-06-30 23:23:53 +00:00
The faaso-proxy container will automatically proxy all requests so if you access the URL `http://faaso-proxy:8888/funko/hello/foo` that will be
proxied to `/foo` in the `hello` funko.
This is all done via naming conventions. You can create your own `faaso-whatever` container, add it to the `faaso-net` and faaso will
happily consider it a funko.
In the same way all funkos are simply docker containers running in that
network, with names following that convention. There is zero magic
involved.
```mermaid

subgraph faaso-net
faaso-proxy
faaso-funko1
faaso-funko2
faaso-hello
end
client -- GET /funko/hello/foo --> faaso-proxy
2024-06-30 23:45:36 +00:00
client -- GET /funko/funko1/bar --> faaso-proxy
2024-06-30 23:23:53 +00:00
faaso-proxy -- GET /foo --> faaso-hello
2024-06-30 23:45:36 +00:00
faaso-proxy -- GET /bar --> faaso-funko1
2024-06-30 23:23:53 +00:00
```
The dynamic proxying is achieved by reading the current state of
Docker and just adapt to it using the naming conventions mentioned

above.
