This will be a step-by-step talk on building a FaaS platfor m for executing Go functions from packages exposed via Git and a REST API to trigger function execution. The system will utilize the Go build syst em internally\, text templates\, GOPATH\, and the Go standard library ato p FreeBSD Jails and ZFS. Function as a service (FaaS) is a type of cloud computing that allows a consumer of the service the ability to run discre te\, specific pieces of code rather than building a full application or i ntegrating that functionality into a larger application. This approach al lows for potentially less code\, cheaper computing costs\, and faster dev elopment. These systems are quickly becoming integral components of moder n architectures. Most of the major cloud providers have incorporated some form of FaaS into their service offering. One of the biggest benefits to using one of these services is that you have access to the catalog of ot her services they offer which allows for building powerful applications q uickly with less code. This talk will go through the steps necessary to b uild your own FaaS system that will be able to execute Go functions in pa ckages accessible via Git. We&rsquo\;ll begin with a high level review of what FreeBSD Jails are\, how they&rsquo\;re used traditionally and how t hey&rsquo\;ll be used by our system. Then a high level review of ZFS\, mo re from the perspective of our use case which will include zpools\, datas ets\, snapshots\, and clones and how they&rsquo\;ll provide us with our f ilesystems. Once the base system components are understood\, we&rsquo\;ll take a look at why Go is a great choice to build this system. At the hea rt of what binds these components together is Go&rsquo\;s text template s ystem\, the compiler\, GOPATH\, and the standard library. The talk will a lso cover building an extremely simple DHCP server embedded into the appl ication as well as a REST API for triggering function execution and a mea ns of administration. The goal\, By the end is to have the audience under stand how Go makes building a FaaS platform easy with real world\, practi cal examples\, and a reference implementation to use for inspiration or t o build from.
