Fully-qualified function names

Each function uploaded by your users has a unique name called a fully-qualified function name, or FQFN. The string representation of an FQFN is as follows:

com.example.nawronuq98hqwekj198fkljbeco#default::record-event@v1.0.0
|_____________|___________________________|________|____________|______|
 Environment          User ID             Namespace  Function   Version

Here's a breakdown:

  • Environment: your company's reverse domain; com.example
  • User ID: The unique value that your application uses to identify your users within your system; nawronuq98hqwekj198fkljbeco
  • Namespace: The namespace this function belongs to; allows for separated groups of functions based on product needs (see Namespaces ); default
  • Function: The name of the function as chosen by the user; record-event
  • Version: The version of this function (incremented each time a user updates this function); v1.0.0

Environment name​

The domain of your email address should match the environment you configure for Compute, i.e. if your email is laika@example.com, your Compute environment would be called com.example.

FQFN URLs​

To execute a function in Compute you will use a URL representation of FQFN. To reference an FQFN by URL, use the following pattern:

/{environment}.{userid}/{namespace}/{function}/{version}

Example:
com.example.nawronuq98hqwekj198fkljbeco/default/record-event/v1.0.0
