# 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.
|
|
|
|

end

D2(fa:fa-image Remote Docker Image)
|
|
E(fa:fa-server FaaSO Proxy)
|
|
F(Container Instance Running In Server)
|
|
end
|
|
G(Container Instance Running Locally)
|
|
|
|
funko_hello --> C -- faaso build -l --> D1
|
|
C --> E -- faaso build --> D2
|
|
R --> C
|
|
D2 -- faaso up --> F
|
|
D1 -- faaso up -local --> G
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
flowchart TD
|
|
subgraph faaso-net
|
|
faaso-proxy
|
|
faaso-funko1
|
|
faaso-funko2
|
|
faaso-hello
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
client -- GET /funko/hello/foo --> faaso-proxy
|
|
client -- GET /funko/funko1/bar --> faaso-proxy
|
|
|
|
faaso-proxy -- GET /foo --> faaso-hello
|
|
faaso-proxy -- GET /bar --> faaso-funko1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The dynamic proxying is achieved by reading the current state of
|
|
Docker and just adapt to it using the naming conventions mentioned
|
|
above. |
