Developer tools for OpenWhisk
This repository is part of Apache OpenWhisk and provides developer tools that help with local development, testing and operation of OpenWhisk.
Subprojects
- docker-compose allows testing OpenWhisk locally, using Docker Compose. This is ideal if you are contributing to core development
- java-action-archetype This archetype helps to generate the Java Action template project.
- node-local allows testing individual OpenWhisk functions locally, using only node.js. This is ideal if you are writing node.js functions to run in OpenWhisk, but need to emulate some of OpenWhisk's behavior in creating
paramsand expecting promises. - maven-java allows testing OpenWhisk Java Actions. This shows how to package the function dependencies e.g. external jar.
- knative-build contains Knative Build Templates along with modified versions of their respective OpenWhisk Action Runtimes that can be used to Build and Serve Knative compatible applications on Kubernetes.
- actionloop-starter-kit contains a starter kit to build a new runtime using the ActionLoop proxy used in Go, Swift, PHP, Python and Rust runtimes.
Travis builds
Each tool in this repository has to provide travis build scripts inside a .travis folder.
The folder should define 2 scripts:
setup.sh- invoked duringbefore_installphasebuild.sh- invokes duringscriptphase
For an example check out docker-compose/.travis folder.

Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
