Shift: Framework for Reusable Stateless Functions
=================================================

[](#shift-framework-for-reusable-stateless-functions)

Inspired by the trends in Serverless / FaaS / Cloud Functions.

Features:
---------

[](#features)

- Provides a framework to build reusable stateless functions.
- A language agnostic (json) format to define `inputs`, `outputs` and `configs` that your functions need.
- A service.json format to list the Shift functions you'd like to expose.
- Uses JSON Schema to validate all input, output and configs.
- Invokers for your Shift functions, so you can easily call/host them locally or remotely.
- Supports functions implemented in PHP or any other language, including executing external commands.
- An HTTP end-point server to serve your functions.
- A Console tool to help build, test and debug your Shift functions.

Examples:
---------

[](#examples)

The `example/` directory contains an example service with 2 functions, one implemented in PHP, and one generically executing an external CLI tool.

To test it out:

```
cd example/
../bin/shift invoke:local hello-php -i greeting=Howdy -c color=silver -u joe

```

This will call the `hello-php` function, passing one input (greeting), a config (color) and a context username.

Status
------

[](#status)

Shift is currently in an experimental phase, and some of the features are under construction.
