Tutorials

Each of the tutorials below provides a step by step examination and walkthrough of a specific Fn feature or component. Check back soon as new tutorials are being added regularly.

Introduction to Fn

Before deploying your first function, you need to install the Fn cli and start an Fn Server.

Now that the Fn Server is up and running, you can deploy your first function. Select your preferred language:

Official:

• Go
• Java
• Node.js
• Ruby
• Python
• C#
