Function as a Service

Function as a Service (FaaS) operates as a standalone execution unit which enables users to configure and run individual functions or small units of code and returns results synchronously. Unlike the current pipeline-based architecture, this FaaS module would function independently and interact directly with clients or services requiring immediate responses. It creates and exposes an endpoint like Sources and can be secured by API Access Configuration.
