### The API Gateway
This container acts in a similar way to the API Gateway on AWS. Requests can be made to this endpoint with a JSON body.

Should have

* Integration with a reverse proxy - such as Traefik or Kong
* Basic auth for /system endpoints (probably via reverse proxy)
* CLI - list functions / query function info
* OS constraints in the deploy function API
* Healthchecks for functions deployed on Kubernetes
Could have
* Built-in Docker registry with default configuration

Nice to have
* Developer Cloud guide:

* Developer guide to using functions together - via pipes on client, or a "director" function on server
* Documentation on using CRON / JenkinsCI for invoking functions on a timed basis
* Guide for termination through NGinx or built-in TLS termination
* Guide for basic authentication over HTTPs (set up externally through NGinx etc)
* CRIU - (Checkpoint/Restore In Userspace) for warm-loading serverless tasks with a high start-up cost/latency.
* Deeper tests coverage and integration tests
## 3. Development and Contributing
If you would like to consume the project with your own functions then you can use the public images and the supplied `docker stack` file as a template (docker-compose.yml)
