Serverless Server

Standard Version of Serverless Server.

Serverless Server Standard

Standard Version of Serverless Server

Serverless Server lets you upload and run lambdas without much hassle about running and maintaining the server itself. It communicates through REST, so it is easy to use and extend. Applications can be build on top of it.
Prerequisites:

To build and run the Server:

Method 1: from Scratch

The Server runs on Spring, which needs to be imported.
additional Prerequisites:
  1. Clone the repo: https://github.com/serverlessserver/standard.git
  2. Import it into Intellij/Eclipse etc.
  3. Import Modules with Maven, given in pom.xml.
  4. Run.

Method 2: JAR

It works on Unix-like Systems. Windows should work too but no guarantee.
TODO make and link jar
  1. Download JAR.
  2. Run jar.

Method 3: Run in Docker

TODO make download link
  1. Start Docker.
  2. Download Serverless Server Image from Dockerhub.
  3. Run.

Communicate with Server

The Server listens to http://localhost:8080/, so you can try things out.

Upload

If you have a lambda, you can upload it by sending a POST request:
http://localhost:8080/lambdas
Headers:
Content-Type: application/json
Body:
{
   "name":"yourlambdaname", 
   "runtimeAttributes":{
     "language":"Python3", 
    "libraries":[], 
    "code":"print(\"Hello world\")"
   }
}
You will receive a JSON Webtoken, which you should keep, because you'll need this to access your uploaded lambda.

Update

If you want to update your lambda send a PUT to:
http://localhost:8080/lambdas/yourlambdaname
Headers:
Content-Type: application/json
Authorization: Bearer tokenyougotwhenyouuploadedyourfunction
Body:
{
   "name":"yourlambdaname", 
   "runtimeAttributes":{
     "language":"Python3", 
    "libraries":[], 
    "code":"print(\"Bye world\")"
   }
}
You will receive a JSON Webtoken, which you should keep, because you'll need this to access your updated lambda. The old JWT is not valid anymore.

Show

If you want to check what you've uploaded, send a GET to:
http://localhost:8080/lambdas/yourlambdaname
Headers:
Content-Type: application/json
Authorization: Bearer token
This will send you your lambda configuration.

Execute

If you want to execute your lambda, send POST to:
http://localhost:8080/lambdas/yourlambdaname/execute
Headers:
Content-Type: application/json
Authorization: Bearer token
Body:
{
 "times":"1",
  "parameters":[]
}

Subtoken

If you want to generate a Subtoken e.g. for other apps to use (= only execute) the lambda, you can send a GET with an expirydate to: http://localhost:8080/lambdas/panda/token?expiryDate=yourexpirydate
Content-Type: application/json
Authorization: Bearer token
Note that subtokens can only execute and not upload/etc. So keep your mastertoken (token you get when you upload or update) to yourself to maintain your function and only give subtokens to customers.

Delete

If you want to delete your lambda, send a DEL to:
http://localhost:8080/lambdas/yourlambdaname
Headers:
Content-Type: application/json
Authorization: Bearer token
More examples can be found under /src/testjava/edu/teco/serverless/ and also you can check out the documentation and concepts.
