_Function_: A _function_ is the smallest unit of a program in Fission.
|
|
It's a program with an function as an entry point -- it doesn't have
|
|
to be just one function.
|
|
|
|
_Trigger_: Triggers are what cause functions to be called. For
|
|
example the HTTP trigger causes functions to be called on HTTP
|
|
requests.
|
|
|
|
_Instance_: Fission creates and runs servers containing these
|
|
functions. The running server is called an _instance_. You normally
|
|
don't need to worry about instances: their management is completely
|
|
automatic and transparent to you. However, certain configuration
|
|
settings allow you to tweak the behaviour of instances -- for example,
|
|
you can configure the strategy for destroying unused instances.
|
|
|
|
_Generic Instance_: An instance with no user code in it. The process
|
|
of including the user code to a Generic Instance is _Specialization_,
|
|
and the resulting instance is a _Specialized Instance_.
|
|
|
|
_Specialized Instance_: See _General Instance_.
