I was developing something similar with effe[1] e effe-tool[2], the idea is similar. You wrote your service in go following in such a way that it expose 3 function and it get compiled down to a single binary, then you can dockerize your application (images usually are smaller than 6MB) and deploy it, wherever and whenever you want. Of course everything is open source. I explained it a little better here: http://redbeardlab.tech/2016/03/05/effe.html [1]: https://github.com/siscia/effe [2]: https://github.com/siscia/effe-tool

I am developing something similar with effe [1] and effe-tool [2] (completely WIP), that are suppose to be an open source implementation of AWS lambda. I am facing problems similar to the one of the author, and I can see why he made some choices but I disagree on most. In my opinion we should aim to a tool to build single executables and another tool to package those executable in a docker container. Also I am doing my best to have as little as possible configurations, configurations are needed to deploy your application, and deployment is a different kind of problem. I must say that is HARD, mainly for the constrain of go. I would love to attach metadata to a go package, configuration would became a no-issues. I would love to build my packages in a dynamic way, eg. these file is the scaffolding, those other are the custom logic, go compi
