How to contribute.
Composer is a new programming model from IBM Research for composing IBM Cloud Functions, built on Apache OpenWhisk. Composer extends Functions and sequences with more powerful control flow and automatic state management. With it, developers can build even more serverless applications including using it for IoT, with workflow orchestration, conversation services, and devops automation, to name a few examples.
Composer helps you express cloud-native apps that are serverless by construction: scale automatically, and pay as you go and not for idle time. Programming compositions for IBM Cloud Functions is done via the functions shell, which offers a CLI and graphical interface for fast, incremental, iterative, and local development of serverless apps. Some additional highlights of the shell include:
Composer and shell are currently available as IBM Research previews. We are excited about both and are looking forward to what compositions you build and run using IBM Cloud Functions or directly on Apache OpenWhisk.
We welcome your feedback and criticism. Find bugs and we will squash them. And will be grateful for your help. As an early adopter, you will also be among the first to experience even more features planned for the weeks ahead. We look forward to your feedback and encourage you to join us on slack.
