Introducing Go Serverless Functions with OpenFaaS

In plain words

OpenFaaS provides a guide for building serverless functions using the Go programming language through its CLI and community-created Golang template. Designed for developers, it demonstrates how to create serverless applications with Go, leveraging OpenFaaS's container-focused approach that supports any Linux or Windows code as a function. The framework enables users to deploy serverless functions on their local machines or in the cloud.

In this post I want to show you how to build a Serverless function in Go with our new Golang template created by the OpenFaaS community .

This guide assumes you have already deployed OpenFaaS on your laptop or the cloud . Go (golang) is well suited to writing serverless applications because it has a modern set of libraries covering everything from Marshaling to HTTP to Image…from blog.alexellis.io

We are building `pcz` to provide a reimagination of Go the language, in an effort to make it suitable for all kinds of programming tasks, and currently you can use it to build efficient web applications in Go using the generated Web SDK (as shown with the live web demo[1]). The journey is just starting, any suggestions? or any critics? [1]: https://primecitizens.github.io/livedemos/10-plat-web/

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
